How to Take Your Two-Year
Institution to the Next
Level
A Four-Part Webinar Series
for Two-Year Schools from
CBORD
Ithaca, New York—More
and more two-year
institutions are turning to
integrated solutions from
The CBORD Group, Inc., the
leading provider of campus
card and integrated security
solutions to colleges and
universities. These schools
have increased student
services, reduced operating
costs, and improved campus
safety by implementing CBORD
solutions.
Georgia Perimeter College
(GPC) started its one-card
program on just one of its
six campuses more than ten
years ago. Since 1998, the
college has produced more
than 185,000 ID cards and
has seen a 375 percent sales
increase at the college’s
bookstores. Today, the “JCard
Office” supports six
bookstores, five food
service locations, five ID
offices, has nearly 250
point-of-sale card readers,
more than 350 access card
readers, and over 1,800
security alarms.
While two-year institutions
are facing record
enrollments and shrinking
budgets, their students are
demanding the same services
offered at four-year
colleges and universities,
and administrators are
striving to enhance
operational efficiencies in
many areas. Learn how
Georgia Perimeter College
has met these challenges in
the first of our four-part
webinar series for two-year
institutions, on Thursday,
June 16, 2011, 2 p.m. (EST).

facing two-year colleges,

Benefits of
a one-card
system

How to

successful
one-card
system

How to

“Our school is not like a
four-year school, where the
university community tends
to be localized on and
around a single campus,”
said Craig Lipsey, Associate
Director of the JCard Office
at Georgia Perimeter
College. “We have six
different campuses with
vastly different student and
community demographics at
each. What we do for one
campus, we must do for all
of them.”
“Two-year institutions are
realizing the value one-card
system technology can bring
and are implementing
solutions. Leveraging
campus-wide solutions like
online vending, print and
copy control, integrated
security systems, and
off-campus programs allows
our two-year college
customers to foster a sense
of community, maximize
student engagement, increase
revenue, reduce waste,
improve safety, and plan for
future growth,” said Cindy
McCall, Vice President of
Marketing, The CBORD Group,
Inc. “Schools can start with
the functionality they need
now and expand as their
budgets allow. CBORD
solutions are designed to
support campuses as they
grow.”
