Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) consistently ranks among the top one percent of the world’s universities, with 24 campuses, 100,000 students, and 17,000 faculty and staff. Offering 275 baccalaureate degree programs, Penn State encourages student movement, both from campus to campus and from major to major as a core principle.

In 2016, Penn State chose the Starfish enterprise platform to fill the need for advising appointment scheduling and documentation, as well as for early progress reporting by instructors. Using Starfish, Penn State set out to establish a single, collaborative platform that fosters student success. In the two years since implementation, the university has achieved significant outcomes, including:

• ~65,000 students receive a flag or kudo through Starfish each semester
• 80,000 advising appointments were made through Starfish in Fall 2017, with most made by students
• Eligibility for progress reporting increased from 16,000 first-year students to all 80,000 undergraduates through Starfish
