Case Study: University of Colorado Boulder achieves 40% higher job placement and stronger alumni engagement with Chronus

University of Colorado Engages Students and Alumni in a Pipeline of Mentoring

The Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder launched mentoring programs to give students individualized career support and deepen alumni engagement, but their in‑house matching and tracking tool became difficult to update, highly manual, and unable to scale as participation approached 1,000 users.

Leeds implemented Chronus in 2012—customized with SSO, branded UI, data import, and bulk matching—and now runs four mentoring programs (peer, young alumni, professional, CoLab). The platform simplified administration, increased engagement (1,500+ users; over half of undergraduates participate), and drove outcomes: PMP students are 40% more likely to have a job at graduation and 100% of mentees would recommend the program.
