UW Robinson Center for Young Scholars

The Robinson Center for Young Scholars has distinguished itself over four decades in equipping exceptionally talented young students for collegiate achievement at the University of Washington. Despite their rich history, their antiquated website and reliance on paper applications called for a significant modernization effort. Interlock Solutions joined forces with the skilled designers at Jennergy to create a custom WordPress site and a user-friendly web application for online student admissions. Together, we crafted an innovative solution that beautifully reflects the Robinson Center’s vital mission.

Custom Online Application

The Robinson Center boasted six distinct programs, each with its own intricate and rigorous application criteria. Interlock Solutions collaborated closely with the director, Nancy Hertzog, to understand the specific needs of each program and developed a comprehensive online application system for prospective students. This transition moved the Robinson Center from paper applications to digital and in turn revolutionized the school’s internal processes. Over time, the web application has evolved into a vital tool for the Robinson Center, facilitating application reviews, student admissions, document management, class administration, and payment processing.

What I loved about working with Interlock Solutions is that they were enthusiastic problem solvers!! Our website is complicated, but Chris and his team have made it accessible to the rest of the staff to easily update and edit. When I think back to where we started, and to where that website is now, I’m amazed! Thank you!
