Starfish

What is Starfish?

At Big Bend Community College, we understand that every student’s journey is unique, and the support needed will evolve with their academic and personal goals. Starfish is here to enhance the student experience by offering personalized support and mentoring, helping students stay on track toward degree completion.

A powerful platform designed to enhance communication, collaboration, and student success, Starfish provides faculty and staff with the tools to monitor student progress, offer timely interventions, and connect students with the resources they need to thrive. 

It’s also a go-to tool for students, helping them stay connected and supported throughout their academic journey. Whether they need to reach out to an advisor, get feedback from faculty, or explore campus resources, Starfish makes it easy to access the help they need.

By fostering a supportive network, Starfish helps create a positive and productive learning environment for everyone at BBCC. Together, students, faculty, and staff use Starfish to build a stronger, more connected campus community!
