Customer Highlight

Northwestern University

At the Northwestern Alumni Association we primarily use Xinspire for the Northwestern Network Mentorship Program, a large-scale program that allows student and alumni mentees to choose their own alumni mentor based on their current and future career goals via an easy-to-use online platform. The purpose of the program is to cultivate meaningful, professional mentor/mentee relationships between accomplished alumni and current students or alumni. To make matching and coordination easier, we have also added spaces on the platform to host the Northwestern Externship Program, the Dinner with Twelve program, and our medical school colleagues have a space for their Help Our Students Travel program.

Xinspire is easy to use and is always offering new innovative capabilities and interfaces. When we ask for the company to change something or design a solution for us based on something our particular needs, it happens in a short period of time and they’re willing to work with us.

Xinspire stood out to us because it’s a small company with attentive, driven, and thoughtful employees. Once we saw how driven the company is to always make their product the best it can possibly be and how willing they are to work with us to design solutions based on our needs, it was an easy decision to make. We’ve been very happy with our choice to contract with Xinspire.
