In 2019, our co-founders moved to Adrian College to incubate Rize and work closely with President Jeffrey Docking.
With his decades of experience devising innovative solutions to the challenges higher education faces, President Docking was an influential co-founder, advisor, and investor in creating what Rize is today.
We also innovated alongside the small independent colleges that are a part of the Lower Cost Models Consortium. Countless administrators, faculty, and students of these colleges helped us design the ideal solution from the beginning.
LCMC institutions share our commitment to making higher education more affordable and ensuring positive student outcomes. They use Rize to unlock new programs and drive new enrollments - all without the immense cost and time typically required to start a new major.
