Expanding the EdSights Community

In Q3, we welcomed a large cohort of partners into the EdSights community. From large public systems to community colleges serving diverse student populations, this continued growth reflects a shared commitment to proactive, student-centered support.

This expansion includes colleges focused on standardizing student support, serving nontraditional learners, and students juggling responsibilities far beyond the classroom. We're proud to support their efforts to act earlier, listen more intentionally, and create stronger pathways to persistence.
