It’s no secret that in higher education, budgets are tight and expectations are high. Current conditions often require institutions to make difficult decisions between making investment into getting learners in the door and those that keep them there.
Read MoreOur last post explored why AI, while efficient, falls short of solving one of higher education’s biggest challenges: keeping students engaged and enrolled. Quick answers help, but it’s connection that makes the real difference. When students feel supported and seen, we find they are more likely to persist, succeed, and thrive.
Read MoreIn our last post on InScribe’s Personalized Persistence Framework, we explored how institutions can move beyond one-size-fits-most approaches to support students in ways that adapt to their needs and circumstances. That framework highlighted persistence as a deeply human process, one rooted in belonging, encouragement, and connection.

This week, we turn to another critical question for higher education leaders: how do we provide scalable, human-centered support that meets students where they are without sacrificing personal connection?

This week, we turn to a powerful but often overlooked element of student success: social capital—the relationships and networks that help students thrive both in school and beyond.
