The higher education landscape is changing. Rising tuition costs and increased competition for choosier students is putting pressure on recruitment. To meet these challenges, higher education institutions must transform how they attract and interact with web savvy prospective students. You must tell your story digitally better than the next guy, whether via virtual tour, social media, a calendar of happening events, prestigious faculty profiles, authentic student videos or vlogs, and so on. Engaging, personalized experiences that portray a sense of community are critical if you want to effectively connect with your applicants, students, parents, or alumni. How well do you tell the story of your school?
