ABOUT INDEPENDENT COLLEGE ENTERPRISE (ICE)

Working Smarter Together

The inspiration for the Independent College Enterprise, referred to as ICE, began in the late 1990’s when two schools discussed pooling resources to purchase and maintain an integrated information management system. ICE was formed after enlisting the commitment and support from several institutions and today the collaboration consists of eight small independent higher education institutions: Alderson Broaddus University, Bethany College, Davis & Elkins College, Stillman College, University of Charleston, West Virginia Wesleyan, Wheeling University, and William Peace University.
While the colleges share hardware, software, and technical personnel, each school has exclusive access to its own data. We, in the central ICE organization, see ourselves as an extension of the school IT departments and work with the schools to maximize their investment in database technologies. Collaborating streamlines administrative processes reduces the expense and increases service to students, faculty, and parents.
