"92 percent of higher education institutions fail to enroll and graduate students from historically marginalized communities at equitable rates to the general population," said Jackson Boyar, Co-founder and CEO of Mentor Collective. "We hope that by consistently sharing our results with the higher education community, that we are able to show how mentorship can align the business of postsecondary education with the business of being a student." EdTech for Equity refocuses the student success conversation on innovations in technology that, when combined with student success best practices, can impact thousands of students and surface actionable insights on campus climate and student wellness.
