Join our partners at Florida Atlantic University and UNC Pembroke to hear how CampusESP for Student Orientation helped:

Keep students on track from admission to arrival
You’ll also get a sneak preview of CampusESP’s new orientation features, including virtual learning modules, new student checklists, and orientation group management!
The engagement advantage in admissions
Students are exploring more schools. Families are asking tougher questions. And it's getting harder for schools to stand out.
The institutions cutting through the noise are building real engagement early — and carrying it all the way through deposit.
Join us for a conversation with our friends at ZeeMee and two practitioners doing the work:
Chris Brunridge, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee
Sarah Lindberg, University of Mary Washington
They’ll share how their teams use community, communication, and brand personality to keep parents and students informed, excited, and moving forward.

Admits don't enroll alone: Family messaging that drives yield
The admit-to-deposit window is short, noisy, and high-stakes. The difference between melt and momentum often comes down to what you say, when you say it, and who you’re saying it to.
In this session, DigiPen Institute of Technology will share:
The types of messages that had the biggest impact on yield
What families engaged with most—and what fell flat
Lessons learned from the past cycle and what DigiPen is adjusting for 2026
How they approached audience segmentation based on funnel stage
Whether you’re refining your yield communications or building your 2026 plan from the ground up, you’ll walk away with ideas you can implement right away.
Families prefer texting. Colleges underuse it. Here’s what to do.
Families’ communication preferences shift as students move from prospect to enrolled — but SMS is still underused at every stage.
30% of prospective families prefer texting, yet only 21% of institutions use it
48% of current families prefer texting, but just 28% of institutions have adopted it
In this webinar, Marymount University and New Mexico State University share how they’re using SMS alongside email to reach families with timely, high-impact messages — from recruitment and yield to orientation and ongoing engagement.
Perfect for teams looking to strengthen family communication by using SMS more intentionally.
