Why Support Your Students with SMS?

These students no longer struggle alone. 

We connected them to support on campus.

How many of your students do you think could be saved if we knew what to text them, and when?

"i am struggling and falling behind. mental health struggles and personal issues have been keeping me from staying focused and getting things done and i fear i may fail two or more of my 4 courses this semester."

Student

"hey i don't remember if this is monitored or not but i'm really struggling with my emotions and performance in my business math class. before i took this class i was a solid 1 but today i am at a 3, feeling very discouraged"

Student

"i definitely need to speak with someone if possible"

Student

"i am struggling financially and cannot afford my books"

You Have Excellent Supports In Place

We make it easier for your students to access them

  • Texting Platform

    Designed in collaboration with higher ed leaders for specific use-cases related to student wellness and retention

    We use data, branch logic, and automation to send texts that sound like they're coming from a real human on campus

  • Expert Strategy

    Texting is a new frontier for many teams, and tools are only as good as the strategy behind them

    With 20+ years of combined experience working in higher ed & tech, we help teams like yours develop text message strategies that reflect and support your strategic goals

  • Execution

    Staff have told us they'd rather give their time to strategy and their students, not to clicking buttons and admin work

    That's why we help you create your strategy, and can take care of 100% of the admin and execution of campaigns. We'll meet up again to review the data together

So... Should You Consider a Pilot?

We get it. 

We get pitched new products all the time too. 

We know that improving student wellness, engagement, and retention won't just happen by plugging in a new tool.

Improvement happens one step at a time, not overnight.

Thinking of having to onboard to something new and commit long-term is a headache. 

There's got to be a better way, and there is 👇

4 Reasons Why AVPs Trust Our Pilot Model

We believe you should start with learning if this is right for your campus

  • Budget-Friendly

    Pilots are structured around your budget. You only pay for only how many texts you send, and how much support you need. 

  • No Onboarding

    Forget about adjusting to a new platform. Just make time for a few meetings, and we can execute on your behalf.

  • Data Collection

    Learn how your campus responds and let the data you collect guide your future investments.

  • Outcome-Focused

    We cringe a bit by saying "we guarantee success"... but it's true. Your pilot can be structured in a way that you absolutely achieve your outcomes
