Case Study: Germanna Community College boosts student success with Ready Education’s CampusGroups

Germanna Community College supports 13,000+ students with Ready Education

Germanna Community College, a community college in Virginia, faced the challenge of engaging its 13,000+ non-residential students and connecting them to critical support services. Barriers such as food and housing insecurity, transportation issues, and mental health concerns threatened student retention and academic success. To address this, the college partnered with vendor Ready Education to implement its CampusGroups platform ("The Grizz") as a centralized hub for resources and communication.

The solution from Ready Education provided a one-stop shop for essential services, including the Germanna Cares Program for emergency funding, a food pantry, and mental health support. This holistic approach led to increased student retention, improved well-being, and enhanced engagement. Measurable results included a significant number of active users on the platform, the hosting of numerous events, and the effective distribution of targeted emails, fostering a more vibrant and connected campus community.
