The challenge
The University of Central Florida — with 68,000 students — struggled to proactively identify students at risk of dropping out. Academic advisors lacked the tools to act on signals before it was too late.
The solution
DataKind built “Edvise” — a freely available AI advising support platform (backed by Google.org) — that surfaces predictive risk signals to advisors, enabling proactive, data-driven interventions. Launched nationally across partner institutions in 2025.
Outcomes
- Deployed at UCF (68K students) and Lee College among others
- Advisors act earlier on at-risk students using AI-generated signals
- Partnered with National Student Clearinghouse for data integration
- Expanding to Historically Black Colleges via Ed Advancement partnership
