Starfish Overview

Starfish is a dynamic tool that helps faculty, staff, and students work together to foster holistic student support and promote student success. By integrating early interventions, personalized outreach, and access to resources, Starfish enables faculty and staff to build stronger relationships with students and connect them to the supports they need to succeed. Through data-driven insights and streamlined communication, Starfish helps us to create a greater sense of belonging through a more connected, supportive college community. 

Starfish Key Features

  • Communications Hub: Centralizes communication between students, faculty, and staff, allowing us to record notes, send messages, share updates, and track interactions in one place. By reducing fragmented communication, we can work together to better support our students.
  • Early Alert System: Supports our efforts to initiate timely interventions to connect our students with support resources before problems escalate, as well as positive reinforcement to boost motivation and encourage engagement.
  • Referral Management:  Facilitates coordination and communication between different academic and students support service areas and ensures our students are connected with the right resources quickly and more effectively.
  • Degree Planner: Allows for collaborative planning to map out a personalized academic plan, sequencing course requirements, to aid in visualizing the journey from start to completion.
  • Scheduling: Gives students various ways to connect with providers in their C.A.R.E. Network.

These features, along with many others, work together to create a more connected, coordinated, and supportive campus community that can better meet the needs of students.
