Great experience working with the Riipen team on CRM Strategy and Implementation best practices.

Ashley was a pleasure to work with. She guided us through the process and provided just the right amount of information, much like what we often encounter in real world scenarios, which allowed us to collaborate effectively and shape a clear problem statement. She was able to validate our understanding, which helped us develop a solution for her to evaluate. Her experience and dedication throughout the effort were truly commendable.

Participating in the project through the Riipen platform was a great learning experience. Engaging with a real-world client allowed me to apply theoretical concepts in a practical setting, bridging the gap between classroom knowledge and business reality.

This experience was something new and needed for my progression into my career of being a future

Working with the Riipen team on this project was a wonderful experience that exposed us to solving real world problems. Ashley was Misssen was accommodating to everyone’s busy schedules and helped us to succeed by answering any questions we had. Collaboration among my team was smooth, and expectations were well-aligned throughout. I appreciated the flexibility and openness to new ideas, which made the project both productive and engaging.

The content within this project was very interesting and had us asking a ton of questions. We had to reach into a few programs and understand logic as it was given to us. I feel this was a good experience for students who are looking to invest their future with companies. The experience with Ashley and Riipen was educational and a good look at a real world problem and how to fix it within our team.

I enjoyed working on this project and with Ashley. She was very attentive and answered any questions we had thoroughly and promptly. This was a great real-world example, and I enjoyed being part of a group that was able to help think of a deployable solution.

This was a good, growth experience as it allowed me to strengthen my skills as a team lead, as a team member and as a communicator to our client, Ashley. Ashley gave a real view of what it is like to work with a client who presents a challenge with not much to go on at the start. This forced us to listen more intently and to ask questions to help us design a solution that met the pain points in an elegant and simple way. Thank you!

Had an amazing time with Ashley leading this project. This is definitely a great opportunity for students to gain access to real world experience.

Riipen was great to work with! Very fast to answer questions and communication channels were excellent! Thank you for a great semester.

It provided a good experience to work with others in the class.

Working with Ashley and the Riipen team on the CRM and Database Optimization project was an incredibly enriching experience. Our team focused on identifying the attributes of a successful client and designing a scoring system to prioritize leads based on real conversion patterns. In parallel, we proposed a student feedback loop integrating post-project surveys and career fair engagement to capture long-term value and career impact. This dual strategy allowed us to approach CRM not just as a tool for sales efficiency, but as a framework for relationship building and institutional growth. Ashley’s support helped us stay aligned with Riipen’s mission while encouraging innovation. This project challenged us to think critically, collaborate meaningfully, and design a solution that could scale with both purpose and impact.
