Who We Are
Our Mission

Who we are

Ocelots are wild cats. They are pathfinders and readily adapt to their environment. We see ocelots in who we are and what we do: empower administrators and advisors to reach every student and answer every question.

Ocelot (previously FATV) has taken several forms both in name and in the technology we create. From creating financial aid publications, to producing easy-to-digest videos, to our AI communication platform, Ocelot has not just kept up with the times, but strived to move higher education forward.
