Full bio
Clifton is Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of College Ease. He is very passionate about helping marginalized populations, and bringing about social change. With CollegeEase, students can sign up for a free profile to create a portfolio of their academic achievements and extracurricular activities, while also setting preferences of what they’re looking for in a school. CollegeEase uses this information to provide recommendations of colleges and universities that match students’ preferences. The National Center for Education Statistics states there are over 7,200 higher education institutions in the U.S. alone. These recommendations allow students to discover schools they may never have considered before. On the flip side, colleges and universities who subscribe to CollegeEase gain data about students who have expressed interest in their institution. Member schools can provide individual student feedback and guidance, share social media feeds, and post relevant information like recruitment events and application deadlines. With this new partnership, Blackboard Schoolwires customers can add access to CollegeEase into their school or district websites through a single sign-on (SSO) integration.
