🚨
"We find out a student is struggling too late"
By the time midterm grades or an advisor flag surfaces the issue, the student is already weeks behind. The window for an effective intervention has narrowed or closed.
🗂️
"Advising notes, LMS activity, and attendance don't talk to each other"
The signals that predict risk live in different systems. No one person or team sees them together, so patterns get missed.
❓
"I don't know which interventions actually work"
We run tutoring, coaching, and outreach programs — but we can't easily tell which ones move retention and which ones are just busy work.
📋
"Our early-alert system generates noise, not signal"
Too many low-value flags bury the students who need attention most. Advisors triage manually and inevitably miss some.
🧑🤝🧑
"Caseloads are too big to track everyone by hand"
Advisors and success coaches are stretched thin. Without a prioritized, data-driven list, the students most at risk don't always get seen first.
📊
"I can't show the Cabinet our impact on retention"
Leadership wants to know Student Affairs' ROI on retention. Right now that story is anecdotal, not backed by a clear before/after data trail.
