Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hope College lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no confirmed mass notification system in place, and has unpublished exercise documentation — gaps that elevate safety and compliance risk for students, staff, and campus operations.
The opportunity
With no incumbent contract to navigate and an active internal initiative already signaling leadership buy-in, fiscal year-end budget timing creates a clear procurement window to close critical preparedness gaps and strengthen campus safety outcomes.

Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The college faces explicit Multi-Factor Authentication mandates with no enterprise password management solution in place within its Microsoft 365 environment. This gap creates measurable cybersecurity and compliance risk for staff, students, and institutional data.
The opportunity
A compliance-driven timeline, new federal grant funding, and increased institutional financial capacity create a strong window to act. Closing this gap now reduces audit exposure, supports MFA mandates, and aligns with the current fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The college's current web accessibility policy falls short of WCAG 2.0 Level AA mandates, creating measurable compliance exposure for students, staff, and the public who rely on accessible digital content. An existing CMS and document creation ecosystem presents a clear remediation pathway, but gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
Fiscal year-end budget timing and an identified Digital Equity Competitive Grant create a near-term window to close compliance gaps and advance equitable access for all users. Acting now reduces legal and audit risk while aligning technology investments with the institution's strategic digital accessibility commitments.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The college operates a fleet of 100+ vehicles with no evidence of modern telematics or driver behavior monitoring, creating significant liability and incident response gaps. Without visibility into fleet operations, the institution faces elevated safety risk for drivers, passengers, and the public.
The opportunity
Recent federal grant awards and fundraising gains have strengthened the college's financial capacity, creating a timely opening for technology investment. Addressing this gap now reduces institutional liability, improves operational oversight, and aligns with responsible stewardship of public assets.
