Brex Asset Management selectively provides capital to scaleable, high-growth startups with strong recurring revenue in expanding sectors.

The Brex funding will help Pathify continue to scale its product suite and deepen integrations with strategic partners, all while maintaining its industry-best customer success and support.

Pathify, an innovative leader in higher education technology, launched Widget Library, a new, groundbreaking capability, at EDUCAUSE 2022. Widget Library fills a dual void that currently exists in higher education by creating a personalized user experience for students without requiring additional development work of the IT department.

Leveraging Recipes, institutions install purpose-built integrations and widgets, allowing users to see and act on the most important information from across systems in one role-based dashboard.

Students are further empowered to personalize their dashboards by selecting widgets from the Library, ensuring the portal remains relevant and useful in their day-to-day lives, increasing the likelihood of driving adoption across campus.

“This space has never seen a hub that brings together complex information from your higher ed ecosystem in intelligent, meaningful ways out-of-the-box,” said Chase Williams, Pathify CEO. “And this is just the beginning. We’ll be adding more Recipes all the time so institutions can connect, simplify and elevate their digital experience.”

Widget Library delivers a configurable, personalized experience giving the institutions and users the ability to configure the Engagement Hub exactly to their liking.

At release, Pathify has added integration recipes for:
- Alerts
- Balances
- Calendar integrations
- Third-party job boards
- LMS
- Social media handles
- Student success
- Payments
“We have conversations all day about the personalization gap that exists in higher ed. What institutions are really looking for is a way to keep their student portals engaging despite numerous constraints on the IT department,” Pathify CTO Chris Hagan said. “Widget Library is the result of those conversations and we believe the EDUCAUSE audience is perfect for the solution we’re bringing to the market.”

Widget Library will be available for demo at booth #561 during EDUCAUSE from Oct. 26-27.

New York, NY, October 17, 2017 (Newswire.com)
–
The Randall’s Island Park Alliance (RIPA) today announced the official launch of its Park-as-Lab (“PAL”) initiative, an integral part of its growing Waterfront Stewardship Program.

The PAL program is geared toward connecting local graduate, undergraduate and high school students, researchers and citizen scientists with Randall’s Island Park, as an ideal site for the study of urban ecology. As part of its longstanding Waterfront Stewardship Program, RIPA offers free hands-on environmental education to over 4500 local K-12 students annually, maintains the Island’s waterfront, and monitors the Island’s water quality and biodiversity, including avian species, vegetation, and marine life. The PAL initiative, an exciting expansion, will help further foster on-site research, toward protecting our local urban ecology, improving community understanding, and promoting sustainability and climate resilience in New York City and beyond. A key element of the PAL mission is to facilitate supervised student scientific research at Randall’s Island Park.

The PAL program is geared toward connecting local graduate, undergraduate and high school students, researchers and citizen scientists with Randall’s Island Park, as an ideal site for the study of urban ecology.

The PAL program is receiving tremendous feedback from participating professors and students:

“As a STEM professor for a diverse public university, I am excited and encouraged by the unparalleled opportunities for urban studies that the PAL program can provide to our students. RIPA’s support for project development and implementation are indispensable resources for conducting local research in the city.” – José D. Anadón, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Biology, Queens College, CUNY

“Having worked with RIPA’s team collecting data on Randall’s Island for several years now, we’ve found their support to be invaluable in ensuring regular collection of samples, coordinating research, and providing access to the unique restored habitats found at the Park.” – Chester B. Zarnoch, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Natural Science, Baruch College, CUNY

“RIPA’s PAL initiative has been an asset to my students. They have provided materials, access, and guidance for a range of research projects, from oyster health to avian research. Their local insight and facilitation have enabled students to explore new possibilities in urban ecology.” – David C. Lahti, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Biology, Queens College, CUNY

“Over many summers, my Urban Ecology students have gained from visiting Randall’s Island Park and learning from the excellent RIPA staff about their research and education programs, and their long-term planning process. The Island is ideally situated to serve as a site for research and education for New York City students and researchers. RIPA’s new PAL initiative will build upon their years of successful environmental education programs to facilitate increased opportunities and partnerships for the study of urban ecology.” – Matthew I. Palmer, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer, Department of Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology, Columbia University

RIPA is committed to fostering a better understanding of the ecology of Randall’s Island Park, of New York City, and of our world as a whole. For nearly 25 years, RIPA has worked to restore, maintain, and develop programming along the Randall’s Island waterfront. The Park’s 20 acres of restored natural areas, ten acres of wetlands and nearly five miles of scenic waterfront offer a unique opportunity for environmental education. RIPA’s Waterfront Stewardship Program was created to take advantage of this resource and offers free hands-on STEM education to children of various grade levels. The PAL initiative is an exciting expansion, geared toward connecting local students, researchers and citizen scientists with Randall’s Island Park – an ideal site for the study of urban ecology.
