What our partners are saying

“Penji has given us the ability to streamline how quickly students can access resources. Penji allows us to meet students where they are, because they always have their phones.”

Using Penji made it a lot more convenient for our students to register for appointments, to complete things they need to complete, to be reminded of requirements they need to meet, and it allowed us increased our student engagement in the program.”

“Penji allowed us to have students sign up more directly to groups but also allow us to restrict and curate [our] groups... where we don't have to go in and manually do it ourselves. I can't even begin to explain to you the time saver in that!”

“We brought Penji to UGA in 2020. The access to extensive data, the autonomy it gives to our students and tutors, and the automation of administrative tasks we used to do by hand is beyond compare to other software. Since moving to Penji we have seen substantial growth in student engagement and tutor offerings. I give Penji my highest recommendation.”

“Implementing Penji has been the best decision we have made for the growth of our residential tutoring program. We are currently trending to double student usage from last year! The app is very accessible to students and has helped simplify the request process. Working with the Penji team has been wonderful due to their creativity, flexibility, and willingness to create and innovate together.”

Colleges have incredible resources available to students but often have trouble driving engagement with those who need the help the most. Let's set up a time to discuss how we can help.
