Our co-founder and CEO Melvin Hines sat on the steps of the classrooms his parents were in taking college classes at night as non-traditional students. Many years later he sat down with The Chronicle of Higher Education's Goldie Blumenstyk to talk about founding Upswing and why we're on a mission to create Real Results for Real Students. #TodaysStudents need and deserve support to succeed in #HigherEducation - listen in! https://lnkd.in/d6iYwdsb #upswing

Meet Ana on Instagram! We're excited to introduce our new student-focused Instagram account, where Ana, our part-AI, part-human powered SMS engagement tool, comes to life! While not every school partners with Upswing and has access to Ana, we’ve decided to expand her reach by bringing her to Instagram! Now, even more students can receive the tips, motivation, and resources they need to thrive on their journey to graduation. We encourage you to share this with your students so they can follow Ana on Instagram and stay connected with the support that will help them succeed. Join us on this new adventure, and see how we’re working to ensure every student feels supported, every step of the way. https://hubs.ly/Q02MbfqT0 #StudentSuccess #HolisticSupport #HigherEd #Upswing
