About PeopleGrove
Learn more about PeopleGrove and their company culture.
Many are questioning the value of a college education. Only half of US alumni strongly agree their education was worth the cost. The way students value and experience their education has changed. They have new expectations:
Job outcomes, not just a degree
Social and digital, not isolated and static
Experiential, not theoretical
Meanwhile, supportive relationships most influenced, even doubled, graduates’ perception that their education was worth the cost. We believe relationships and community are key to student success and engaged alumni.
