Transforming Recruitment: Campus Anywhere's Bold Approach to Enrollment

Today, many higher education institutions are facing a pressing challenge: continuously declining enrollment rates. According to data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, higher education institutions have lost over 1.9 million students since spring 2020. 

It's clear that traditional recruitment methods are no longer as effective as they once were. Institutions must adapt their approach to attract and engage students in this new era. Enter Campus Anywhere, the groundbreaking solution from ConexED that is transforming higher education recruitment.

The Challenges of Traditional Recruitment Methods:

College Fairs and Events

While college fairs and events have been a staple of recruitment, they face limitations in terms of reach and accessibility. Students from remote areas or marginalized communities may not have the means or opportunity to attend these events, resulting in missed connections and untapped potential.

On-Campus Visits

On-campus visits provide a glimpse into the campus atmosphere, but they can be costly and time-consuming for both students and institutions. Scheduling conflicts, travel expenses, and limited availability can hinder students' ability to explore multiple campuses, limiting their options and negatively impacting enrollment rates.

Phone and Email Outreach

Traditional methods of phone and email outreach often fall short in capturing the attention and engagement of prospective students. With overflowing inboxes and an inundation of calls, it's challenging to stand out and create meaningful connections that truly resonate with students.
