FYE Passport was built by Keyunti Richard, MPA — CIO at Southwestern College. The app wasn't designed in a boardroom; it was designed in response to a real retention challenge faced by real students and a real Student Success team. That context is baked into every feature.
"First-year retention isn't a data problem — it's a connection problem. FYE Passport gives students a reason to show up, and gives staff the visibility to know who needs support before it's too late."
