Hawai'i Universities Invest $7.4 Million in Student Success with New Tech Platforms
Big Investment in Student Futures: The University of Hawaiʻi (UH) System has taken a significant step towards bolstering student success with the recent approval of a $7.4 million, five-year subscription to two cutting-edge technology platforms: EAB Navigate360 and EAB Edify. This strategic investment aims to enhance support services across all ten UH campuses, ultimately improving student outcomes and ensuring a brighter future for Hawaiʻi’s learners.
What are EAB Navigate360 and EAB Edify? These aren't just any platforms; they represent a comprehensive, integrated approach to student support. EAB Navigate360 focuses on proactive student outreach and early alert systems. It leverages data analytics to identify students who may be struggling academically or facing personal challenges, allowing advisors and support staff to intervene quickly and effectively. Think of it as an early warning system for student success, enabling timely support before issues escalate.
Edify: Personalized Guidance and Career Pathways: Complementing Navigate360, EAB Edify provides personalized guidance and career exploration tools. Students can access a wealth of resources, including career assessments, job search support, and information about different academic pathways. This empowers students to make informed decisions about their education and future careers, aligning their studies with their aspirations.
Why the Investment is Crucial: The decision to invest in these platforms reflects UH’s commitment to student success. Universities nationwide are increasingly recognizing the need for data-driven approaches to student support. Traditional advising models often struggle to reach all students who need assistance. Navigate360 and Edify offer a scalable and efficient solution, ensuring that every student has access to the resources they need to thrive.
Benefits for Students and Campuses: The anticipated benefits are far-reaching. Students can expect more personalized support, targeted interventions, and clearer pathways to graduation. Campuses will gain valuable insights into student needs, allowing them to optimize support services and improve overall retention rates. This ultimately contributes to a stronger and more vibrant Hawaiʻi community.
Looking Ahead: The implementation of these platforms will be rolled out across the ten UH campuses over the next five years. The University of Hawaiʻi Board of Regents’ approval signifies a major commitment to student success and a willingness to embrace innovative technologies to support the next generation of Hawaiʻi leaders. This investment is a testament to UH’s dedication to providing a world-class education and empowering students to achieve their full potential.
