Best Practices Don’t Guarantee Student Outcomes

Advising consistently ranks as a top-performing investment

Advising programs, on average, improve persistence by 5.8 percentage points.

YET Half of advising programs don’t  MOVE THE NEEDLE AT ALL

They’re simply harder to manage in a way that measurably improve student outcomes.

What If You Could: 

  • Equip

    advising teams to work in a coordinated, collaborative, and efficient way

  • Provide

    a consistent source of truth across stakeholders, while also managing privacy concerns

  • Empower

    day-to-day advising decisions and actions that drive meaningful student outcomes

  • Understand

    the actual impact of your initiatives and if they’re aligned to the students and strategies you’ve prioritized

Your Holistic Advising Solution Should Provide:

Engagement Tools to Guide & Coach Students

Provide teams with the workflow, case management, and collaboration tools needed to fully grasp a student’s current situation.

Communicate more effectively, manage appointments, and make recommendations students can use to persist and succeed.

Working Harder vs. Working Smarter

Your team works hard. But there are only so many hours in a day. 

Money to hire more advisors isn’t exactly growing on trees. Your advisors deserve to know they’re helping the students who need them most, when they need them most. Capacity constraints are real. Simply working more hours or adding more staff isn’t always an option.

One person, team, or program can’t improve student outcomes in isolation… At least not sustainably.

When your teams work together, focus strategies, and make data-inspired decisions every day, the script changes. Your work becomes coordinated and students don’t slip through the cracks. 

Activity doesn’t equal impact.

Match their passion and experience with proactive recommendations for their entire caseload. They start each day with a clear view into what each student needs, ensuring each action impact.
