"Over the past year, Gannon University increased student retention by 5%," said Steven Mauro Ph.D., Vice President for Academic Administration. "That translates to $2 million in revenue for the school that year and lifelong success for that group of students. GlyphEd was an integral part of identifying those students and helping them to stay in school."

GlyphEd presents student data related to financial aid, recruiting, admissions, academic, and extracurricular information within a single graphical/visual representation on the user's computer screen. Users can view all of their student related data holistically, in context, to enhance analysis and find answers that inform student success programs more quickly and easily.

"We are very excited about our results with GlyphEd," added Mauro. “With GlyphEd we we’re able to identify at-risk students through comprehensive analysis of financial aid, engagement and academic data more easily and in less time. We discovered previously unknown behavioral factors that indicate student risk that allowed us to best alter our intervention strategies and tactics accordingly."

GlyphEd integrates with existing CRM and Enrollment Management data systems, allowing schools to benefit from data they already capture.

"Student success and school success are important to the entire GlyphEd team," said Mark Sloan, CEO of GlyphEd. "Dr. Mauro and his team at Gannon University have created a best practices playbook for retention and we are thrilled to be a part of such a measurable impact."
