How it works

We run the conversation. You run your campus.

Most student support fails for one reason. Nobody opens the email. Journey is built around the one channel students still read. We write every message, run every check-in, and learn each student over the semester.

Stories from the cohort

Discover how Journey helps students and the team supporting them.

Ben, Student
“5 minutes with Journey helps me with the entire week.”
Jade, Student Success Team
“My team finally sees what’s happening before it’s a problem.”
Ophelia, Dean of Students
“It didn’t ask my team to learn anything new.”
“We had students we had written off. Journey kept texting them. They came back. They stayed. We finally have a defensible answer when the board asks what we are doing for retention.”

Dr. Ophelie Rowe-Allen

Associate Vice President & Dean of Students, University of New Haven
