The spring semester is in full swing, and our employees have been actively traveling to college campuses making sure students start strong.

Recently, Emma Bradford visited the Metropolitan State University of Denver where she enjoyed helping professors and students get set up for the semester. She noted that, “by the end of the day I was seeing some of the same students for a second or third time, they appreciated the convenience of having so many of their classes were all on one platform.”

Bridget (Lavin) Hales and Lindsay K.. worked with over 50 instructors and teaching assistants at Virginia Tech. Through informative sessions and valuable discussions, they provided guidance and shared best practices to ensure a successful start to the semester. Bridget expressed confidence in the preparedness of those they met, leaving campus with a sense of fulfillment.

Melanie Kinzie traveled to the University of the Incarnate Word San Antonio where “several students and instructors expressed their gratitude, as I was the only publisher on campus who could provide in-person help.”

Even a snowstorm couldn’t deter Amanda Carr and Bridget Gerrety from supporting students at Columbia University in New York. Their dedication shone through as they braved the weather to assist students, ensuring a smooth transition into the semester.

Elizabeth Kline Metzger and her team made a significant impact by helping over 450 students at the University of Kentucky activate their courses on MindTap.
