Bloomsburg University’s HuskySuccess platform, powered by Hobsons, is the suite of academic advising tools selected to integrate with our learning management system and student information system to deliver advising notes, progress reports, and online scheduling of advising appointments. In May 2020, the initial HuskySuccess release provided early alert, case management, and intervention capabilities. A phased rollout will introduce additional functionalities in the future that will help students and advisors determine degree plans and provide data analytics to enhance efforts towards a smoother path for our students to achieve their academic goals and beyond.
