Student Success Collaborative Awards

2024 was the tenth year in a row that EAB has recognized outstanding achievements in student success. Awardees are chosen from among the colleges, universities, and individuals that use Navigate360, EAB’s student success management system, Starfish, the student success platform EAB acquired in 2021, and Edify, EAB’s data management solution.

“EAB has been collaborating with our hundreds of partner institutions to transform the way they use technology to recruit and support students to help them graduate and launch successful careers,” said EAB President of Technology, Scott Schirmeier. “The winners of EAB’s 2023-2024 Student Success Collaborative Awards are leading the way in leveraging technology as an asset to serve students and their institution.”
