“Whitworth has been developing an early alert system (formerly known as “EDWARD”) that allows faculty and staff to notify us online when a student is struggling. The opportunity this gives us to follow up quickly and thoroughly is essential to the support we want to offer students. We are now so fortunate to have Deb focusing on this early alert system, gathering and disseminating information so that we can give an effective response. This is a great step forward!” Kathy Storm, vice president for student life
