The country’s leading feedback and anonymous reporting platform lets administrators communicate with student-athletes to address their most pressing concerns in real-time.
RealResponse, the leading feedback and anonymous reporting platform for collegiate athletic departments, is pleased to announce a partnership with Winthrop University. Winthrop will leverage RealResponse’s Anonymous Reporting portal so that student-athletes have a real-time and confidential resource to contact administrators, especially for pressing concerns related to COVID-19 or social injustices.
“Perhaps now more than any athletic season ever before, being aware of the experience and needs of our student-athletes at all times is vital to our athletic department,” said Ken Halpin, Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics at Winthrop. “RealResponse will help us hold each other accountable and address situations in real-time that need our immediate attention. As we return to competition, especially while needing everyone to adhere to COVID-19 protocols, RealResponse will enable us to keep student-athletes safe.”
Winthrop joins more than 50,000 NCAA Division 1 student-athletes using RealResponse as a real-time communications platform for sharing feedback with coaches and administrators and reporting incidents. Student-athletes can use RealResponse to anonymously report social injustice, COVID-19 policy infractions, misconduct, hazing, sexual harassment, and more.
“Ken Halpin and Hank Harrawood are true advocates for the student-athlete experience,” said David Chadwick, Founder of RealResponse. “As student-athletes returned to campus with potential needs around COVID-19 and social injustice concerns, Winthrop immediately understood the new challenges and as a result found ways to empower their student-athletes. Winthrop implementing RealResponse means that all student-athletes will have a tool they can use 24/7 to contact administrators if they need resources. We are excited to partner with the Eagles and look forward to becoming an integral part of the student-student-athlete experience.”
