Become a featured Accudemia user on our website, share your insights, and get recognized for the great work you do. Not only would you be helping your colleagues, but also you would be spreading the word about your work, center, and institution.

Why my story?
Our focus is on helping students succeed in college and providing the best tools and technology to support the professionals devoted to this mission. We also want educators to understand the benefits of using these tools, learn how others utilize them at their institution, and see how they might apply similar ideas at their academic support centers. They can best do this by hearing from you and other select Accudemia users about what you are doing to help students succeed and how Accudemia helps you.
What do I need to submit?
Write and submit your story, photos, and screenshots. Make sure to include a photo that we can publish as the header of the article. This can be a photo of your campus, your academic center, your center staff members at work, sign-in station, etc. You may submit more than one photo if you like, but we need at least one.
Here is the suggested outline for this story:
- Introductory paragraph about your institution. For example, when was it founded, its location, enrollment numbers, mission, and what makes it special.
- About your academic center: Its name, location, services, staff, mission, etc. This can be one to two paragraphs long
- Challenges you had BEFORE using Accudemia: For example, lack of actionable data, inaccurate tracking, time-consuming manual process, inefficient allocation of resources, long check-in lines, too many appointment no-shows and cancellations, etc.
- Why did you choose Accudemia over other options?
- (Optional) Describe the process of setting up Accudemia and training your staff on using it.
- How did Accudemia help solve the challenges in #3 above?
- Any special usage of Accudemia that you find particularly useful. This could be a specific report that you use for funding or upper administration, or a unique implementation idea. It would be useful to include a screenshot or a photo of this (blur out any sensitive info).
- (Optional) A quotation with a staff member’s name about their usage of Accudemia. This would also allow you to spotlight that person in the story.
- (Optional) Adjustments you plan to make to cope with COVID and how Accudemia helps with that.
- (Optional) Any tips or suggestions you have for other centers thinking about adopting Accudemia.
