MALVERN, Pa., May 24, 2011 — Each year, NaBITA receives applications from companies, products and services which seek to enhance the safety of college and university campuses. NaBITA evaluates each applicant, interviews campuses using the product or service, and solicits testimonials.
NaBITA 2010-2011 President Saundra K. Schuster, Esq., explained, "We wanted to give the Award of Excellence to a product or service that not only provides a great service to the higher education and behavioral intervention community, but does so with a quality and excellence that merits endorsement from NaBITA. We feel that Maxient was a natural and obvious choice for our 2011 award." For more details, visit http://www.nabita.org.
About Maxient's software, Rich Horowitz, Associate Director of Residential Life, Student Conduct & Housing at Vassar College, wrote the following:
"Using Maxient has saved me the time to allow for a more mindful approach to addressing student conduct on campus and my other responsibilities. The time necessary to process a case has been cut in half, and this extra time has afforded me the ability do things that either are, or are working towards, best practices within the field. It's made the work more enjoyable. [The transition to using the software] has been very smooth. It's actually a sort of Wizard of Oz scenario as I know there are people behind the curtains making things happen, but I never really have to get involved … I just benefit from the magic. Customer service is awesome … they always get back in touch quickly and have been able to address any concern I've ever had. I frequently recommend Maxient's services to other campuses."
Aaron Hark, Director of Product Development for Maxient, is a former university conduct officer who brings the unique advantage of developing Maxient's software based on real-world, student-facing conduct experiences. Additionally, each new client campus receives an in-person, on-site training to ensure that all users are familiar and comfortable with using the product.
Richard Lee, Assistant Dean of Students for Student Conduct at Valdosta State University, told NaBITA:
"The Maxient Team is outstanding in their understanding of and responsiveness to the challenges of conduct case management! In my experience, they are THE conduct software providers that really comprehend and 'get' what we do day to day to stay on top of things, largely because of their prior real-world hands-on experience as practitioners in conduct management. You won't be disappointed with them; I haven't been!"
