This fall, for the first time in over a year, many colleges and universities invited students back to campus. The opportunity to return to campus offered some semblance of a more traditional college experience, and importantly, helped address the disproportionate burden that campus closures placed on low-income, first-generation, and international students, among others. However, significant challenges to student success—both old and new—remain.

To help students overcome these barriers on their path to graduation, it’s essential that higher education professionals are prepared to help students—particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds—succeed on their academic journeys. At ideas42, we’ve spent the last decade working with dozens of postsecondary partners to develop behavioral solutions that help students get to and through college. We’ve developed effective interventions, but sending our experts to one or two schools at a time limits the number of students we can reach. Now, we’re taking the next step to grow our impact and the adoption of proven behavioral insights to help millions of college students across the U.S. with the launch of the Student Success Academy.

The Student Success Academy equips college and university administrators with practical tools to independently incorporate behavioral science into student success work. We’re taking our expertise, born from years of rigorous research and replication, and putting it in the hands of those best positioned to positively impact the lives of millions of college students across the country.
