Historically, colleges and universities have relied on traditional economic models to sustain them. For the majority of private institutions, that meant enrolling a stable number of full tuitionpaying students. The pace of change in the economy, as well as the global COVID-19 pandemic, has impacted the reliability of traditional models, putting pressure on institutions to readjust their strategies. Top challenges that institutions are confronting include: 1) a decline in student enrollment 2) higher costs which cause financial difficulties 3) fewer high school students and 4) declining international student enrollment.

TO A NEW REALITY

The challenges above suggest that higher education administrators will need to explore new business models, and strategies to reach new student populations. As a result, institutions are taking a critical look at the way they utilize their facilities outside of the academic year. Now more than ever, the right partner like BOLD can support your goals to attract new student populations, help increase revenue with new programs, mitigate hidden costs and the risk associated by bringing the latest insights and innovations to the challenge of managing your campus and adapting to a new reality while allowing you to focus on your core educational mission.

MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS & COMPLIANCE We have the experience, infrastructure, capabilities and expertise to deliver logistics with a personal touch. From arrival day programming and transportation to reserving housing, booking meals and managing medical needs, every detail is anticipated and accounted for. Safety is always our number one priority.

Health Management The staff will be trained on health care protocols and will accompany students to the doctor or hospital. We can also assist with hiring nurses, sports trainers, physical therapists or other medical staff as needed.

Student Arrivals We organize and implement check-in and check-out procedures for each arrival and departure. We work with universities and various oncampus departments needed to make these transitions efficient.

Student Orientation and Integration We design orientations to integrate students from various backgrounds, cultures, races, languages and religions.

Student Supervision We can choreograph the entire experience. We plan protocols according to student age, program environment and trip location. In addition, we handle student discipline and parent communication.

Non-Academic Activities We manage both on- and offcampus evening activities as well as weekend options.

Payroll Services From document collection and storage to background checks and fingerprinting to full service payroll processing, we have the resources to manage a wide variety of compensation profiles.

Compliance We know compliance can come from many angles. We are well versed in university, state, federal and NCAA compliance.

Safeguarding Youth and Staff Selection BOLD has one of the most stringent screening and background check processes in the industry. We “double down on safety” by rerunning background checks on our returning staff every year.

This is in addition to a series of preventative risk management screenings we do to keep youth and staff safe. As we operate some of the most prestigious programs in the United States and continue to secure top talent, we are doing everything we can to protect our partner brands and their reputations.
