Terra Dotta is excited to announce the signing of our 400th client.

We are very pleased with the commitment all of our clients have made to us over the years, giving consistent feedback that has helped improve Terra Dotta software. In 2015, we plan to introduce a dynamic workflow system that will streamline everyday tasks in the office and SEVIS reporting integration for ISSS.

With the strong improvements made in TDS14 and changes coming in TDS15, Terra Dotta software is a product that can be effectively implemented and used not only in study abroad offices, but offices all over campus including ISSS, travel risk management, agreements management, and HR Competencies.

We look forward to continuing to work with all our clients throughout 2015 and hope to see you all in person, whether at one of our three conference events or one of the myriad events we attend each year.

International student support office staff regularly indicate that their international student to staff ratio is really high and that it is often a challenge to provide all the services and support they would like. They also raise the question of how they can effectively evaluate the quality of their services and the experiences of their students.

These two issues are tied together. Unless you can measure the success of your services and find areas where additional resources will result in impacts that are measurable and meaningful for campus leadership, your office will make little progress in obtaining new resources to enhance support and services.

This session will be a practical how-to demonstration webinar focused on teaching you how to navigate TDS' built-in layout and graphic design tools. We will look at the Stock Layout Editor and practice making a complete (simple) layout based on the official colors of a demo organization. No graphic design experience is necessary. Please note that the TDS Stock Layout Editor is incompatible with custom layouts.
