You will find some of the recent and upcoming changes to the CAS™ listed below:

Upcoming Webinar: Analytics by Liaison™

If you completed the PostbacCAS™ survey and indicated you only use the PostbacCAS application, you should have received a copy of the first annual PostbacCAS report (for the 2018-2019 cycle). The report offers a resource to participating schools to assist in trend and recruitment analysis, benchmarking, and strategic decision-making.

Also, exclusive CAS users will be given access to Analytics by Liaison when the 2020-2021 cycle launches in August 2020. Unlike the annual report, which focuses on cycle-specific data for the CAS, Analyticsby Liaison provides data-driven insights specific to your institution to help you spot trends and shape your class.

We will be hosting a webinar to review Analytics by Liaison on Wednesday, August 19, at 11:00 PM PT/2:00 PM ET. Register here
