Starfish
Starfish is a Guided Pathways student success platform designed to provide integrated support to help students achieve their educational goals. The Starfish platform can be used to communicate with students, provide easy access to services and more!
It is:
- a place for students to go when they need help
- a communication tool for faculty and staff
- a tracking system to help us coordinate and integrate support efforts across campus
- a way to assess the impact of our efforts/interventions/strategies
- a way to show students that we care about their success
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy he asked, “What are you doing?” by Cypress College Guided Pathways
