Save time with a modern FERPA process for families
When students hit billing confusion, holds, financial aid requirements, registration issues, or missed deadlines, families often step in. But without secure access, 48% are using their student’s ID and password to view student data.
Shared logins, manual forms, and unclear permissions create more work for registrars, more compliance risk, and more friction when students need support.
Join CampusESP to see how modern FERPA Management helps institutions give families the right access while saving teams time.

AI for families is here, now what?
85% of families now rank an AI Assistant as a top preference for college communication.
Our co-founders James and Dave Becker will dig into ESP Sense™, CampusESP's AI engine, with a demo of the Family AI Assistant, results from the 325+ customers (50k+ interactions, 4/5 satisfaction) trialing it this summer, and where it's headed next — agentic AI, deeper automation, and the case for why one platform beats a pile of point solutions.
Email became table stakes. Texting became table stakes. AI's next. The only question left is whether you're building the strategy or reacting to it.
Affordability is not enough: How two-year colleges can prove value and drive enrollment
Students have more options than ever, and community colleges are competing for attention in a crowded enrollment market. Families are helping students compare cost, flexibility, transfer options, career pathways, and the support available along the way.

Scaling family engagement without scaling your team

Walk away with practical ideas to scale family communication, reduce manual work, and turn engagement into measurable action.
College communication strategies that support Black student success
Behind every student is a network of people cheering them on, checking in, asking questions, and helping them navigate the college experience.
For Black families, that connection is especially strong. CampusESP’s 2026 College Family Survey found that 54% of Black families communicate with their students daily, and 60% prefer text messages from their student’s institution.
HBCU leaders from Morehouse College and Morgan State University will share how proactive family communication can strengthen the support system around Black students, build trust with families, and contribute to stronger retention outcomes.
