The Challenge: Lack of clarity into which initiatives were making a measurable impact, and a support model that unintentionally overlooked students most at risk of falling behind. The Strategy: Leverage predictive insights from Civitas Learning’s Student Impact Platform to identify low-persistence students, personalize outreach based on real-time risk signals, and evaluate which initiatives delivered the greatest return on investment.

During my years working alongside peer educators in higher education, there was one reflection I heard time and again: "I feel like I have a purpose here because of this role." That sense of purpose isn’t incidental. For many students, becoming a peer tutor, facilitator, or SI leader is the first time they see themselves not just as recipients of education, but as contributors to their campus communities.

A message sent to everyone is a message sent to no one. Generic campus-wide reminders—like class registration prompts—are easy to overlook without personalization. Targeted outreach, such as messaging students who’ve started but not completed registration, is far more effective. The 2024 analysis in our 2025 Student Success Impact Report found that institutions are not only increasing outreach—they’re measuring its impact.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

When we talk about student success, it’s easy to focus on the classroom. But even the most capable students can struggle if they don’t have access to basic resources like quiet study spaces, reliable Wi-Fi, group meeting areas, and academic support services. Findings from the 2025 Student Success Impact Report reinforce a powerful truth: supplemental instruction (SI), tutoring, and writing centers aren’t just add-ons—they’re foundational to a healthy student success model.

Few publicly available federal data sources provide detailed information about postsecondary students beyond race and income. The National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS)—administered by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES)—is one of the only nationally representative datasets that offers a comprehensive view of students’ college access, progress, degree completion, and employment outcomes.

Disabilities are something we tend to associate with old age. Young adults might joke about their older friends waking up with back pain — without realizing that it could be them sooner than they think. (Speaking from experience, the memes about getting back pain when you turn 30 are true.) So, is long-term disability insurance… The post Do You Really Need Disability Insurance in Your 20s or 30s?
