We’re excited to start off the 2015-2016 school year with a brand-new interface and applicant experience for Ascend! Here is what our admissions partners at campuses everywhere can expect in this update:

**New Applicant Interface:** The look and feel of Ascend is cleaner and easier to navigate–all while keeping the system packed with all the tools you need.

**Simplified Applicant Workflows:** There are additional features that will make the application process easier. For instance, applicants can now drag-and-drop files into their application.

**Embedded Links:** You can now link your Ascend signup/login page to your school’s website!

**Events Connected to Google Maps:** Applicants can find events following the Google Maps event location information linked to their Ascend event page. Social Media Integrations: Sync your school’s Facebook and Twitter feeds to the applicant interface for instant updates!
