Use Cases

Use cases are examples of how Swim partners with colleges and universities to address pressing needs. From enrollment recovery to workforce integration, these stories highlight the kinds of challenges we solve and the results institutions achieve when they work with us, transforming challenges into opportunities for student success, operational excellence, and institutional growth.

Swim has proven change management strategies that bring leadership into alignment, clarify roles, and build adoption across teams. When one college restructured its student affairs division of more than 900 employees, we guided the entire process. The result was a seamless transformation that connected onboarding, retention, and completion strategies across a large multi-campus system.

Swim applies enrollment journey mapping to uncover gaps in advising, onboarding, and communication. For one university, we redesigned processes, introduced targeted outreach, and created accountability across departments. The outcome was measurable growth in enrollment and stronger retention of new students.

Swim builds marketing and brand strategies that unify messaging and strengthen identity. At one Hispanic-Serving Institution, we led a full rebrand, aligning academics and athletics with a clear purpose-driven narrative. The result was a trusted brand that elevated recruitment and reinforced student success storytelling.

Swim delivers leadership alignment that clarifies priorities, strengthens collaboration, and connects structure to strategy. When a multi-campus system faced inconsistent decision-making, we worked with executives to establish new Executive Dean roles tied to student-centered goals. The outcome was clarity, alignment, and long-term stability across the institution.

Swim’s managed services model embeds experienced professionals who operate as an extension of the institution. For one university, we took on enrollment operations, student communications, and marketing execution while standardizing processes and improving turnaround times. The result was expanded capacity, a stronger enrollment pipeline, and leadership freed to focus on growth.

Swim designs workforce integration frameworks that align employer partnerships, career pathways, and advising with labor market demand. One college embedded workforce planning into its core operations with our support, preparing students for high-wage, in-demand careers while strengthening the region’s economy.

Swim creates strategies that reflect community priorities and tie directly to institutional goals. At one college, we assessed and refreshed the strategic plan, integrated community voices, and strengthened workforce partnerships. The outcome was a plan that restored credibility and positioned the institution as a trusted anchor in the region.
