Case Study: Gates Millennium Scholars achieves 97% first-year student retention with Chronus mentoring software

Gates Millennium Scholars Program Integrates Mentoring For Student Success

Gates Millennium Scholars needed a more engaging, scalable mentoring program to connect students and alumni for academic, personal, and professional development. Their previous software had outgrown their needs, and they wanted a modern solution with social features that would appeal to students and support a larger, more active mentoring community.

Chronus provided mentoring software along with implementation, configuration, training, and customizations such as branded UI, data import, and single sign-on. With Chronus, the program went live in eight weeks, grew from 500 to more than 3,000 users, expanded by 600% in the first year, and helped drive a 97% first-year student retention rate.
