Case Study: St. Petersburg College boosts student engagement and enrollment with Pathify

St. Petersburg College - Customer Case Study

St. Petersburg College, a pioneering Florida institution, faced a challenge with advisor email fatigue and low student engagement. Traditional communication methods like email were ineffective for their academic advisors, who needed a better way to deliver timely information and support to a large caseload of students. They turned to Pathify, specifically utilizing its Communities and Groups features.

By implementing Pathify Groups, advisor Leah Deranian created a social media-style space for her students, replacing inefficient email blasts with targeted, scheduled posts. This solution from Pathify led to a significant 18% reduction in advisor emails during peak registration and a dramatic jump in future-term enrollment rates from 46% to 76% for her student cohort. The platform fostered a collaborative community that reduced student isolation and empowered peer-to-peer learning.
