Introducing Beacon: the persistence intelligence platform for student success
Anticipate risk. Increase persistence.
Beacon, the newest solution from Mantra Health, is the first persistence intelligence platform designed to improve student mental health, well-being, success and retention.
Beacon provides a real-time, holistic view of emerging student needs impacting persistence, including factors related to basic needs, mental health, and sense of belonging. The platform helps institutions identify students at risk of dropout, predict population-level trends, and provide prescriptive guidance to align campus-wide resources around the initiatives that best improve student well-being.
Insights for institutions, impact for students:
Proactive Support Model
Shift from a reactive to a proactive, data-driven engagement model that enhances interdepartmental coordination for students at highest risk of dropout.
Visibility into Retention
Bridge the gap to graduation by identifying invisible risk factors early and taking immediate action, ensuring more students reach the commencement stage.
Increase Support Utilization
Rapidly connect students to highest impact campus and community resources based on their unique needs.
Optimize Institutional ROI
Identify institutional gaps and allocate resources toward highest-ROI student retention initiatives.
Beacon is available to all institutions and can work in harmony with Mantra Health’s continuum of Whole Campus Care solutions or any other third-party mental health solution.
Case Study
Beacon drives strategic change for student success at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).
Beacon is an extraordinary platform that provides campuses actionable, prescriptive insight into student needs, shifting from reactive to proactive support. By delivering immediate feedback and rapid connection to resources, campuses are empowered to meet students where they are and intentionally amplify student success. There is truly nothing else like it.
