Manchester Met Circle
A student Circle focused on the first-year transition — the months when belonging is won or lost.
This Circle — including its partners and figures — is an illustrative example created to show what RippleCore looks like in use. It does not represent a live RippleCore customer.
Manchester Met’s Circle is built around one insight: most students who leave in the first year say they never felt they belonged.
The Circle recognises the students who make other students feel included, and gives the university honest data on where belonging is strongest and weakest.
