Navigate is a software package offering students a one-stop-shop to
access services.
As more departments and faculty members join Navigate, a software
package offering students a one-stop-shop to access services, support
for students improves.
Matt Musser, student success software specialist, has helped
departments implement Navigate into their
workflow. The software syncs with the Outlook calendar function to
allow academic advisors and faculty members to view student
information on one platform.
"As more departments join, it makes it easier to collect student
information in one unified place," Musser said. "So advising
and support services can be more consistent across areas, which
improves our ability to better support our students."
Student feedback on the software has been positive, Musser said.
"Students have found it easy to find not only what they were
looking for, but also see other services offered, and they like
that," he said.
Faculty members can sign up for Navigate training in Sprout; Musser is also
available to train departments on the system, connect with him by
sending an email to [email protected].
Without a budget, David Eick sent a request to the "Station Eleven" author's team and was delighted when Emily St. John Mandel enthusiastically replied.
