Risepoint

Thank you, Canadian Association for Graduate Studies (CAGS), for hosting us at last week's CAGS | ACES Conference! We admire the CAGS vision to lead Canada in supporting graduate education, policy, and practice. Dr. Nicole Johnson, Executive Director of the Canadian Digital Learning Research Association (CDLRA) and Risepoint consultant in Canada, presented introductory remarks at the event's luncheon. She was introduced by CAGS' Past President, Josée Bastien (Laval University, Quebec). Pictured, Dr. Johnson and Bastien are joined by Ian Werely, the Executive Director of CAGS, and Jay Hatcher, President of New University Partnerships at Risepoint. #GraduateEducation

Online education expands access to critical education that can help students transform into leaders within their field. Cary Robinson, who earned his RN to BSN from Southern Utah University, shared that “This nursing program is more focused on being a nurse in the community. Being a nurse as a part of a team. Taking the lead instead of just following.” #RNtoBSN #Risepoint #ReachNewHeights

We're looking forward to supporting the Canadian Association for Graduate Studies (CAGS) by speaking at the 62nd Annual CAGS|ACES Conference in Toronto this week!

Many thanks to Dr. Tim Wall, Dean of the School of Education and Director of Teacher Education at Northwest Missouri State University, for recently joining us for a session at the WCET - WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies (WCET) Annual Meeting. Together with Dr. Tekoya Boykins, Risepoint Director of Academic Program Strategy, they discussed how to strengthen student outcomes across the institution. We are excited about the work Dr. Wall is doing to create enduring outcomes for students and honored to be able to support him and NMSU in that effort. #WCETannual

We recently had the incredible opportunity to bring together leaders in education, technology, and innovation for the Google x Risepoint Summit. This inspiring event focused on key topics like the evolving student journey, harnessing the power of AI in higher education, and insights that can help fuel the student experience. The day was filled with thought-provoking discussions and collaborative ideas that will shape the future of education. A huge thank you to our university partners and speakers for making this summit a success! #EducationInnovation #AIinEducation #StudentSuccess #FutureOfEducation

Our partners offer programs focused on empowering students with skills that can be seamlessly applied to their careers. Mandy Crider, who is working toward her MSEd at Northwest Missouri State University, shared that “Every class that I have taken has coincided with something that has come up in my own classroom. … I can use whatever I've learned in that class back with my kids.” #MSEd #Risepoint #ReachNewHeights

One of the biggest challenges facing working adults seeking to advance their education is the cost. Risepoint helps our partners put the power of education in students' hands - helping more working adults shape their futures through programs that deliver real results. In fact, an independent survey conducted by Ipsos found that, on average, graduates from Risepoint-supported programs reported an average debt of roughly $8,800 per student. According to the Education Data Initiative, this compares to a national average of $40,681 per student. Read more key findings from our 2024 student ROI report here: https://lnkd.in/gnZeeZYV

Many thanks to the University of Colorado Denver for hosting Risepoint at the P3 EDU conference last week! We were so inspired to hear from Risepoint partners, like The University of Texas at Arlington's Dr. Jennifer Cowley, who provided perspective on how private partnerships can help institutions improve student success and expand reach and access. Pictured is Dr. Cowley with our CEO Fernando Bleichmar and Susan Dukes, who is instrumental in supporting the UTA partnership, among others. #p3edu
