Its services can also send students \u2018nudges\u2019\u2014or reminders\u2014about upcoming deadlines. AdmitHub\u2019s machine learning system has also been designed to learn as it goes. It begins to naturally tailor its responses to each respective student body it serves.<\/p>\n<h2>Eliminating &#8216;Summer Melt&#8217; With Nudges<\/h2>\n<p>The company partnered with Georgia State University (GSU) in 2016 to put its chatbot to work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/blog\/brown-center-chalkboard\/2018\/09\/11\/freezing-summer-melt-in-its-tracks-increasing-college-enrollment-with-ai\/\">According to a study conducted by independent academic researchers<\/a>, AdmitHub\u2019s chatbot significantly reduced \u2018summer melt.\u2019 This term refers to students who are accepted and indicate they intend to matriculate, but fail to show up for their first day of class. At GSU, this phenomenon was reduced by roughly 30% after implementing AdmitHub.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;AdmitHub&#8217;s technology and approach exemplify the thoughtful application of AI to solve the most pressing challenges in education,&#8221; said Matt Greenfield, Managing Partner at Rethink Education, in a statement. &#8220;Even amidst the turmoil of the past year, artificial intelligence has played a transformative role in institutions&#8217; efforts to communicate quickly and effectively, in ways that improve access and retention at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since launching in 2014, the company says it has served over 3 million students. It has contracted with other institutions like Wayne State University, West Texas A&amp;M, and Allegheny College.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The past year has reinforced the reality that new challenges will always be around the corner for colleges and universities,&#8221; said Drew Magliozzi, Co-Founder and CEO of AdmitHub, in a statement. &#8220;Partnering in close collaboration with schools around the country, we&#8217;re building an empathy engine for higher education that will enable institutions and their students to navigate even the biggest and most unexpected obstacles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>AdmitHub has announced it will change its name to Mainstay at an undisclosed time in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Correction 2\/16\/21: A previous version of this article incorrectly named Texas A&amp;M as a partner of AdmitHub.
