Red Rover is simple
orientation software
that delivers customized introductions all year long.
Why Red Rover?
Red Rover provides personalized activities advising to new and current students automatically. Students struggle when they can't find a social niche. Red Rover solves this by recommending people and groups that fit their interests and profile, getting students "in" faster.
Automatic Assessment
Your staff time is precious. By making your orientation process transparent, Red Rover allows your staff to effectively focus their energy exactly where it will do the most good. Benchmarks are also built in so you can compare and learn from other schools in the Red Rover community.
Unleash Your Leaders
Student leaders spend huge amounts of time and energy trying to get the word out about their clubs, organizations, and groups. By systematizing and automating recruitment, your student leaders can focus on organizing around their passions, increasing everyone's engagement.
Myspace/Facebook Integration
93% of college students already use Facebook or Myspace. Red Rover is the first system to make positive educational use of the online social networks students use. Now you can blend the values of your institution into the social lives of your students. Help them reach their potential by meeting them where they are.
You Easily Customize the System for Your Institution!
Fast, Immediate, Hassle-Free
Sign up takes minutes. Full institution set up takes a few hours. Red Rover is hosted on our safe, fast, and reliable servers, so neither you nor your IT department needs worry about a thing. All you or your students need is a web browser (IE 6/7, Firefox, or Safari) and an internet connection.
Based On Best Practices
The Center for the First Year Experience, the National Survey of Student Engagement (quoted below), and Project DEEP, all come to similar conclusions: more connections, among students and between students and faculty, increase institutional success measurements. Red Rover facilitates connections and engagement automatically.
"The most important factor [in promoting engagement] was the relationships with faculty and other students."
