While attending Western Michigan University, our owner Chad DeWolf worked in the Office of Admissions & Orientation. The university had a need in trying to contact prospective students to attend WMU or at the very least, help them through the college decision making process. This need was unique because in 1998, they wanted to do it online, but didn't know exactly how to get started. WMU was, at that time, having current students pick up the phone, dial a phone number of a prospective student, and either get a busy tone, wrong number, or a parent stating that it was a bad time to call and that their child was not home. This was not working out well and was waisting time and money for the Admissions & Orientation office. This is how DeWolf Solutions came to be. Chad personally thought of, created, and implemented his idea of having the same actual WMU students utilize the internet and instead of calling the students, having the students contact us through email. This was a fairly new idea but it worked! Chad (age 19) and an Admissions Counselor flew to Bolder, Colorado, to present to the top fifty universities in how to recruit, effectively and efficently, online. It was after this that the Mentoring Online Program for Prospective Students (M.O.P.P.S.) was created.

The website has gone through major facelifts since 1998, however, the idea and name that Chad "coined" still run strong today. Please take a look into what WMU is doing today to help the world of tomorrow.
