It's been 90 days since we launched the EdSighters Community and introduced EdSights Weekly. In celebration of this milestone we've rounded up the top 5 most-read posts of the first 90 days to help ensure the entire community is up to date with the most meaningful insights on student persistence and engagement.
We're here to help put a stop to the college completion crisis and are grateful that you are part of this movement. Thank you for reading!

Sincerely,

Chatbots Without EdSights are Like Chips Without Guac
The promises of a chatbot are plentiful. Boost efficiency! Drive engagement! Automate, automate, automate!

Thank you again for reading. We look forward to the next 90 days!
