Community moves the numbers that matter.
Acadiate turns community building into repeatable experiences your team can run, measure, and improve each term.
Recruitment
Help prospective students feel like they belong before they apply.
Students are not just choosing a curriculum. They are choosing a community. Acadiate helps your program create recruitment experiences that make prospective students feel welcomed, informed, and connected from the first interaction.
Example experiences:
- ✓ Open Houses and Campus Tours
- ✓ Information Sessions and Q and A Events
- ✓ Virtual Visits and On Demand Content
- ✓ Student and Alumni Ambassador Events
Retention
Build the belonging that keeps students engaged.
Students are more likely to persist when they feel known, supported, and connected. Acadiate helps your program create structured touchpoints that strengthen community, peer relationships, and student confidence every term.
Example experiences:
- ✓ Orientation and Welcome Programs
- ✓ Peer Mentorship and Leadership Development
- ✓ Academic Coaching and Success Check Ins
- ✓ Student Community Events
Student Outcomes
Connect students to the people and opportunities that help them succeed.
In an AI era, outcomes are not just about what students know. They are about how students apply knowledge, build relationships, access opportunities, and demonstrate readiness to employers and partners.
Example experiences:
- ✓ Career Readiness Workshops and Panels
- ✓ Applied Learning Projects and Capstones
- ✓ Internship and Placement Support Programs
- ✓ Employer Networking and Talent Showcases
Funding and Partnerships
Show partners the value of supporting your community.
Funders, employers, and partners want to see visible impact. Acadiate helps your program showcase engagement, outcomes, student success, and community value in ways that strengthen sponsorships, grants, employer relationships, and long term support.
Example experiences:
- ✓ Employer and Partner Showcase Events
- ✓ Sponsorship and Partnership Presentations
- ✓ Grant Impact Reporting and Dashboards
- ✓ Alumni and Partner Engagement Programs
Built for Community
Every experience that builds community is one your program can actually run.
Recruitment, retention, outcomes, and funding are not separate strategies. They are driven by the same thing: the experiences your program creates for students, faculty, employers, and alumni. Acadiate lets you build, run, and repeat them all in one place. Online, in person, or hybrid. No app download required.
One License, Everything Included
Unlimited experiences for your entire program, all year
- Run unlimited experiences during the license term
- Start from proven higher education templates built for recurring program workflows
- Invite students, faculty, employers, alumni, parents, and prospects with low-friction access
- Keep experiences available on demand as a lasting resource hub
What You Get
Every Person In Your Program Gets Their Own Account. For Life.
Students, faculty, and alumni all receive personal Acadiate accounts. The content, connections, and history inside those accounts belong to the individual, not the institution. When someone graduates or moves on, their account comes with them.
A personal account that belongs to them
Every student, faculty member, and alumnus receives their own Acadiate account. All content they create and upload belongs to them. The institution cannot delete or revoke it.
Full control over their own content
Each person decides what to publish and who can see it. Research, presentations, portfolios, event participation, and professional connections are theirs to manage and take wherever they go next.
Accounts stay active after graduation or departure
On most institutional platforms, access ends when enrolment does. Acadiate accounts are not tied to a university login. When someone moves on, their account and everything in it moves with them.
Your program keeps a lasting connection
Because everyone keeps their account, your program retains a real channel to its graduates, faculty alumni, and past employer partners. Invite them back as mentors, speakers, or collaborators without rebuilding from zero each cycle.
Most platforms grant access while someone is enrolled or employed, then take it away. Acadiate works the other way. Students, faculty, and alumni build something real inside their accounts, and it stays with them permanently.

The Business Case
What Solving These Problems Is Actually Worth
Higher education institutions spend millions on the problems Acadiate addresses. Here is what the numbers look like.
$150,000
recovered per 1% retention gain
A 500-student program at $30,000 average tuition loses $150,000 in revenue for every 1% drop in retention. Improving retention by even a single percentage point covers the entire cost of your Acadiate license, many times over.
500 students × $30,000 tuition × 1% = $150,000. Acadiate license at this size: $14,999/yr. 10× ROI on a single retention point.
$3,000–$10,000
cost to recruit each new student
Institutions spend thousands per enrolled student on recruitment: events, travel, materials, staff time, and ad spend. Experiences that showcase real student and faculty work convert prospective students more effectively than any brochure.
Converting 3 additional students at $30,000 tuition = $90,000 in new enrolment revenue. Acadiate at 200 students: $7,499/yr. 12× ROI on three conversions.
These figures use conservative, publicly available benchmarks. Your program's actual numbers will vary, but the direction is consistent: the cost of not solving these problems far exceeds the cost of the platform.
Repeatable by Design
Great Programs Run Recurring Moments
Annual showcases, monthly employer sessions, semester orientations, ongoing mentoring, and cohort-based communities. Acadiate makes those moments easy to repeat without rebuilding from scratch.
What makes experiences repeatable
- Reusable templates for common program workflows
- Clone and redeploy past experiences in minutes
- Carry forward structure, pages, resources, and branding
- Run multiple live components inside one experience, like monthly sessions inside a semester-long hub
- Standardize across sections, cohorts, and tracks while still allowing customization
Result
- → Less staff effort each cycle
- → More consistent quality across cohorts
- → More frequent engagement touchpoints without adding operational load
Measurable
Insight In The Ways Programs Actually Need
Most programs know attendance counts. What they rarely get is usable insight into what students and partners actually engaged with, and what to improve next time. Acadiate gives you built-in analytics to measure engagement across live and on-demand participation, online and in-person touchpoints.
Measure what matters
- Participation and engagement across pages, resources, and sessions
- Which content and activities drive the most engagement
- Employer, alumni, and mentor participation and follow-through
- Engagement trends across cohorts, dates, and experience types
- Clear reporting that supports program decisions and stakeholder updates
Result
- → Improve each cycle based on evidence, not guesswork
- → Justify investment with clear outcomes and engagement data
- → Identify what is working and scale it across the program

Live and On Demand
One Experience, Live And On Demand At The Same Time
Acadiate experiences run in two modes at once. The work you put into the live moments keeps delivering value before, between, and after the live window.
Synchronous: Real-Time Participation
- Live sessions, panels, office hours, recurring sessions
- Real-time chat, Q&A, and interaction
- Time-bound activities that create momentum
Asynchronous: Ongoing Value
- Recordings, resources, structured content pages
- Persistent links and media libraries
- Engagement between live moments
Online, In Person, and Hybrid
Meet Your Program Where It Runs
Acadiate is built for accessibility as a core principle. Run an experience fully online, use it to elevate an in-person event, or stitch the two together as a true hybrid.
Online Only
Students can join from anywhere. No travel, no app installs. Mobile-ready with built-in accessibility.
In Person, Elevated
Use Acadiate as the digital companion for schedules, posters, materials, Q&A, and post-event access.
True Hybrid
Remote and in-room participants share one experience with equitable access and unified analytics.
The Time Capsule Effect
Every experience captures the moment and stays useful
Posters, profiles, recordings, resources, conversations, and outcomes remain available so students can return later, alumni can re-engage, and faculty can point the next cohort to what came before. The experience does not end when the live window closes.

Built for Lean Teams
More Done With Less. One Person Can Run It All.
Program offices are already stretched. Acadiate is designed so a single coordinator can manage the entire platform, without needing IT, without hiring an events team, and without spending half the week on admin.

A poster session, career fair, or mentorship program can be created and ready to invite participants in under five minutes using a template. No technical setup required.
1 person
can manage the whole platform
One coordinator can own recruitment events, student showcases, mentorship programs, and career fairs, all from a single dashboard. No handoffs, no siloed tools.
Zero IT
involvement to get started
No installations, no integrations to configure, no provisioning requests. Participants join from any browser with no app to download, keeping your IT queue clear.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "program-level" mean? What exactly is covered by the license? +
The Acadiate program license covers one program (for example, a Faculty of Engineering, a School of Nursing, a Graduate Business Program, or a specific department). All experiences you run under the license (recruitment events, poster sessions, career fairs, mentorship programs, etc.) are scoped to that program and its students, faculty, alumni, and employer partners. It is not a university-wide license.
Can we use it for university-wide recruitment, beyond our own program? +
The program license is for your program's own recruitment: attracting students specifically into your program, showcasing your faculty, and running your open days and information sessions. If your institution wants to run experiences across multiple programs or at the institutional level, we offer discounted multi-program and institution-wide agreements. Get in touch and we can put together a proposal.
Can other programs at our institution use Acadiate under our license? +
No. Each program license is specific to the program that purchased it. However, if other departments or programs at your institution want to use Acadiate, we offer discounted pricing when multiple programs join together. This is a common path: one program adopts it, sees results, and then others follow. We make it easy to expand.
What counts as a "student" for the purpose of the pricing tier? +
The tier is based on the total number of active students enrolled in your program, not the number of users invited to any specific experience. Faculty, employer partners, alumni, and admin staff are not counted toward the student tier and are included at no extra cost.
More questions +
How many experiences can we run? +
Unlimited. There is no cap on the number of experiences you can run during your annual license term. Run one a month, one a week, or ten in a semester; the price stays the same.
Do we need IT involvement to get started? +
No. Acadiate is fully browser-based: no software to install, no apps to download, and no IT integration required to get started. Participants access experiences from a link. If your institution later wants SSO or deeper integrations, we support that, but it is never a prerequisite.
Run unlimited experiences for your program with one annual license.
