The Orientation Advantage
THE ORIENTATION ADVANTAGE™
Mandatory is not really mandatory anymore...and it never really was.
Your students and families are the checkwriters and they have more influence and accountability (or lack of) regarding their college experience. They know they're paying for it, so the meaning of mandatory is very different for them. It's mandatory that you/we/Higher Ed needs to do this programming, but they do not have to attend—and there's no immediate consequences to them because their attendance, grades, and graduation is not impacted.
New Student Orientation (NSO) after the pandemic requires a paradigm shift in how we think about orientation.
Students were born in front of a phone, given a phone to distract them when they were babies, and grew up in front of a device that could give them access to anything they wanted whenever and wherever they wanted it.
Then came Google and YouTube and TikTok and now AI. Answers are coming faster...in way less than a one-hour program can deliver (and with fancy graphics and animations and transitions and music...possibly all done by AI as well).
Students consume information differently than ever before, so we must match the design and delivery mechanisms with their consumption habits.
We're here to help. We've got great programming for NSO, Orientation Leaders, College Parents & Families, and Student Success Professionals like yourselves.
You have a few excellent packages to choose from and we have something for everyone when it comes to new student orientation, co-curricular programming, management consulting to transform your orientation experience, and even community builders and comedy events to liven things up.
We call it The Orientation Advantage. You'll call it your saving grace.
