In higher education, student success is everyone’s goal—but too often, it’s not everyone’s process.

Faculty and advisors are both deeply invested in helping learners stay on track, but they frequently operate in silos. When a student misses assignments, disengages, or starts to struggle, those most equipped to help may not know that it’s happening—or that someone else has already reached out. That’s why Anthology is proud to introduce a powerful new connection between Blackboard® and Anthology® Reach. Launched in the July 2025 release and showcased live at Anthology Together 2025, this integration brings together academic insights and student support into a unified view—so instructors and advisors can act as one.

🔔Real-Time Alerts. One Shared Mission.

With the new Student Alerts integration:

Faculty raise alerts in Blackboard when a student disengages or falls behind

Those alerts appear in Reach—the advisor’s central workspace—alongside context like student history, past outreach, campus involvement, and case notes

Advisors can act immediately, reaching out with timely interventions, nudges, or support plans—all from within the tools they already use

This is more than data sharing. It’s coordinated care at scale.

🤝 Why It Matters

This feature reflects a simple but powerful principle: Student success doesn’t belong to one role, one system, or one moment. By syncing alerts across platforms and teams, institutions can: ✅ Eliminate silos between academics and advising ✅ Support proactive, well-timed outreach ✅ Build a shared story of support around every student ✅ Surface and act on risks sooner It’s the Power of Together—applied directly to the tools and teams that matter most.

This new integration is part of the Anthology Reach July 2025 release and was unveiled live at Anthology Together 2025. If you missed the session, now’s the perfect time to explore how connecting your LMS and CRM can unlock smarter, more coordinated student support.
