Traditional Student Success Initiatives Do Not Work for Every Student

One-size-fits-all solutions to student success do not meet the needs of underserved students. Higher education leaders need to adopt an identity-conscious student success strategy to close equity gaps around enrollment, retention, and post-graduation outcomes.

Representation Matters. Belonging Matters

Many students in college today don't see themselves represented in the faculty or administration.

With 80+ dimensions of identity and affinity on our configurable matching survey, we ensure every student has a mentor who they can relate to and can provide them relevant advice to steer them to success.

Jayden C Student Profile_2024
“Only 8 percent of institutions have at least equitable student representation while also helping students from underrepresented populations graduate at the same rate as the general US undergraduate population.” (Ellsworth et al., 2022).

Every Student Matters

Our asset-based approach to mentorship encourages colleges to think about which students can mentor others.

Serving as a mentor not only provides authentic support for new students, it builds leadership skills and shows that your institution values students’ lived experiences.
