Rider University Adds AI Tools to Improve Student Experience
Rider University has entered into a new partnership with CollegeVine, a higher education technology company that develops AI-powered tools for student recruitment, services and support.
Through the partnership, Rider will implement CollegeVine’s AI Recruiter and AI One Stop tools to improve communication, simplify access to the university’s resources, and strengthen support for students.
The investment comes as colleges and universities nationwide face changing demographics and growing demands for more personalized, responsive service.
“Students and families deserve personalized support and easy access to the information they need,” Rider University President John R. Loyack said. “These tools give us new ways to serve them at every stage of the Rider experience — from helping prospective students discover what Rider has to offer to helping current students and families stay informed and connected.”
Beyond personalized outreach, the technology can communicate in more than 50 languages, provide answers around the clock and proactively reach out to students with reminders and next steps as they enroll.
“There are so many details students and their families have to keep track of throughout the admissions and enrollment process — forms to complete, deadlines to meet and important next steps to stay on top of,” said Mary-Alice Ozechoski, senior vice president and chief of staff. “These tools give us another way to keep students informed, guide them through the process and even check in on their well-being so we can connect them with additional support when they need it.”
The University expects to launch CollegeVine’s AI Recruiter and AI One Stop tools this fall.
