You asked, we delivered.
The team has been hard at work this summer creating enhanced experiences for counselors so you can have a more productive school year with Scoir.
Take a peak at our latest product updates below and stay tuned for new features we will roll out for the 2019 – 2020 school year.
Blog Highlights:

Managing students' college lists has never been easier. With this latest update, you will now be able to:
View more applications at one time
See activity logs for each application
Seamlessly browse with an improved experience
And that's not all. We also worked with many of our counselors to design an application approval workflow. You can now ensure the approval and accuracy of every application so nothing slips through the cracks.
Turn on the application approval feature in your account settings.
Thanks to your feedback, we updated the College Visits experience and functionality to allow for easier management and approval of visit requests. But we didn't stop there.
We also added the ability to create calendar black out days and public URLs to share your calendar visits.
These features are now available in your calendar settings.
Need more incentive to make this update? There are more than 2,000 reps from over 700 colleges now using Scoir to schedule visits, and we're adding 17 new reps every day! Get them in front of your students!
We are very excited about this one. Starting in July, you will be able to send documents at the student level!
Our goal is to help improve efficiency for the application document submission process.
Our work is just getting started, and we know that there are still updates we need to incorporate into Scoir to better serve counselors.
We're looking forward to rolling the following new features out over the coming months.
Keep an eye out for these new features releases later this summer.

Kevin McCloskey is the President of Scoir.
