四色AV to Rebrand as Risepoint

May 1, 2024

A message from CEO Fernando Bleichmar

This past year has been a time of tremendous growth and impact for 四色AV, including our January acquisition of Wiley University Services. During the integration, we鈥檝e identified an opportunity to be clearer about who we are and the value we deliver for universities and their students.

Today, I am excited to share that we are launching a rebrand of the combined companies under a new name 鈥 Risepoint.

Our new name and logo express our commitment to help university partners and their students reach new heights. Every university and student face inflection points, moments that can change their trajectory in ways that have lasting impact. We call these moments Risepoints. For a student, it could be when they decide to get the degree that will help them advance their career or when they need support to stay on course for graduation. For a university, it could be the decision to offer programs online for the first time to better serve the needs of working adults. We’ve seen these moments and others like them, and we know what it takes to help universities and their students reach those Risepoints.

How do we do it?

  • With expertise, scale, and determination.
  • By helping universities make life-changing education more accessible. More affordable. More meaningful for local communities.
  • Through a continued focus on high-ROI, workforce-focused degrees, especially in nursing, education, and business.

The rebranding will roll out in phases, including a new website this fall. We look forward to sharing more in the coming months.

It found recent graduates of AP-supported programs averaged double-digit salary increases, a rapid tuition payback period of just 1.2 years, and overwhelmingly affirmed the value of their degrees.
