HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'i Athletics Department announced a partnership with RealResponse which will provide UH Athletics with the resources to help foster an environment that encourages open communication by offering additional student-athlete communication tools to help ensure the best student-athlete experience possible.
 
RealResponse is a partner with more than 125 colleges and universities as well as with the NFLPA, USADA, the NWSL, and USA Gymnastics.
 
RealResponse is a powerful web-based platform that offers three solutions: a survey tool for student-athletes to share feedback and rate their schools; a benchmark tool to compare metrics to peer and national averages; and the Anonymous Real-Time Reporting tool to empower student-athletes to report concerns anonymously in real-time. Using the platform's documentation hub, key personnel can securely store and track sensitive information.
 
"Adding the University of Hawai'i to our roster of clients is exciting, as the University shares our commitment to creating a safe and positive student-athlete experience," said David Chadwick, Founder and CEO of RealResponse. "Thank you to the UH leadership for partnering with us to protect student-athletes. Together, we will elevate the voices of those on campus and take proactive steps to address issues before they become major concerns."
 
UH Athletics will utilize the platform to provide a safe and secure way for student-athletes to communicate on issues related to their experience directly with administration.
 
"Our top priority is to provide a great experience for our student-athletes," UH Athletics Director Craig Angelos said. "In order to do so, we need to ensure health, safety, and wellbeing is at the forefront of the student-athlete experience. RealResponse will give our student-athletes an excellent platform to provide continual feedback, which will better enable UH Athletics to serve the needs of our student-athletes."
