Reimagining the Campus Visit in the Era of Rapid Change
Ever since the pandemic shut down campuses and in-person tours five years ago, many feel outdated and out of touch. Too often, visitors find them uninspiring, irrelevant, and difficult to fit into their schedules and budgets.
Institutions attempted to reboot their visit programs by dusting off pre-pandemic playbooks—but these outdated approaches fail to connect with today’s students and families. Most visit programs did not adapt to the fact that students are now touring campus later in the decision-making process, often after they receive their admissions and financial aid packages.
How to Shift, Simplify, and Stay Ahead
No matter the changes our industry faces, research consistently shows that the campus visit remains one of the most influential factors in a student’s college decision.
Our team specializes in designing experiences that engage students at every stage—from daily tours and open houses to accepted student events, summer melt strategies, and orientation.
Our Enrollment Campus Visit team has partnered with over 50 colleges and universities since 2022—from small privates to iconic publics and everything in between. Our approach blends art and science: we assess your current visit experience, provide in-person consultations, and follow up with detailed reporting, remote coaching, and strategic recommendations.
Our mission is to transform campus visit experiences—ensuring they align with institutional enrollment goals while remaining authentic, engaging, and relevant for prospective students and their families. Whether your campus visit program is dead, dying, reviving, or thriving, we’re ready to help. Let’s talk.
