120+ virtual engagement strategies for incoming students
Currently, it’s more important than ever to cultivate a sense of belonging and connection with incoming students, as colleges and universities face several new threats to their incoming class. To combat the uncertainty caused by COVID-19, institutions must develop new and creative ways to engage students through orientation and across the summer. We have organized over 120 virtual engagement strategies in seven key areas:
- Build affinity and sense of belonging
- Drive engagement with academics
- Engage parents and family members
- Facilitate virtual campus experiences
- Foster peer connections
- Offer service opportunities
- Provide career exploration opportunities
