Education company EAB has named Nashua Community College as a finalist for the company’s Student Success Collaborative-Return on Education Award.
NASHUA – Sept. 12, 2023: EAB’s Return on Education Award recognizes an institution that has seen significant and measurable results from its efforts to help students persist, graduate, and thrive.
This is the tenth year in a row that EAB has recognized outstanding achievements in student success. Finalists were chosen from among the colleges, universities, and individuals that use Navigate, EAB’s student success management system, or Starfish, the student success platform EAB acquired in 2021.
