Marketing

Our Property Management team offers many proprietary programs to help our team and third-party partners manage our communities. PILOT (Property Impact on Leasing and Occupancy Targets) is a sophisticated, fully automated, web-based system developed to monitor the implementation of the marketing and operations plan. PILOT provides real-time information for our management and marketing teams. The information allows us to:

  • Monitor student traffic and manage contacts

Customer Satisfaction

SOAR (Scoring Opportunities and Recognition) uses a complex but easy to understand system of surveys to assess:

  • Prospective resident’s leasing experience
  • Move-in experience and satisfaction
  • Parent experience and satisfaction
  • Overall resident satisfaction levels including future housing plans
  • Management client satisfaction surveys

Results are compiled and the findings are reviewed and used to continually upgrade programs and services.

Residence Life

The principle goals of EdR's Residence Life program are ongoing support of the institution's academic mission, community-building and keeping students connected to the campus. Our Resident Assistant (RA) and Community Assistant (CA) programs facilitate an atmosphere conducive for residents to study and learn, develop relationships with faculty, staff and peers and encourage involvement in campus activities and leadership opportunities. Our Residence Life program develops and maintains a socially and educationally engaging environment for a diverse population.

EdR created a Student Affairs Advisory Board (SAAB) in the fall of 2006. Comprising seasoned student- affairs professionals, the board meets twice yearly to discuss and advise EDR on higher education trends. SAAB members come campuses with which we work and from markets where we have communities.
