Education

TurtleWise is a unique question and advice network that delivers most of the value of face-to-face mentoring, without the limits of time or place. Help others, build connections, and make great decisions, all at the same time, all at once.

Personalized Advice, Anytime, Anywhere

Our clients in the Education space appreciate the unique contribution of TurtleWise to their wisdom sharing ecosystem. Whether they develop a committed cohort of career mentors, student peers, supportive faculty or alumni, they have found value in the asynchronous nature of the engagements. Cohort participants can engage with one another during those late-night study sessions or while a professor is tied up with administrative matters. The platform can help to enhance student services, social connection and belonging as well as academic performance. We can structure a customized experience that brings your community together in critical and effective ways. In addition, TurtleWise can be tailored to enhance faculty achievement and cross departmental mentorship and collaboration.

Here are some specific use cases that our clients have benefitted from:

Admissions

Linking current students to prospective students to answer questions and share experiences. This gives the school a more authentic outreach posture, frees up administrator time and increases the commitment level and success rate of a student who chooses to and is chosen to attend. It also gives the current student/mentor/coach a greater sense of pride, accomplishment and commitment which helps with retention and engagement after graduation.

Mentoring

Linking those with information to those who desire it within the student population (seniors to juniors) or faculty. TurtleWise has also been utilized as part of a Men and Women of color (separate groups) mentoring program. Sports teams have utilized the platform as well to connect incoming athletes with a seasoned athlete/mentor.

Cohort Connection

The Dean of a computer science school has utilized TurtleWise to augment their existing network tools. University sponsored seminars at all levels have utilized TurtleWise to bond participants and sustain engagement pre, during and post in-person and virtual events.

Career Services

The career services department of one of our University clients has used TurtleWise as a resource for students to gain first hand insights about the careers they are considering.

Alumni Engagement

Alumni reaching back to support students of their alma mater using our platform report a more satisfying experience. All students experience an enhanced appreciation for the value of their school network. This leads to deeper connections to student and alumni activities as well as to greater volunteer and financial support.
