what does the virtual FAIR offer?

THIS VIRTUAL PLATFORM WILL HELP easily search options after high school in one location, offer live sessions to connect, &  build relationships with professionals at those INSTITUTIONS.

These events provide the opportunity for institutions to interact with prospective students, counselors, parents, & beyond. At these events, students, counselors, parents, etc. will be able to:

1 - Schedule meetings with specific members of an institution.

2 - ​Attend LIVE Zoom sessions on specific topics including academics, financial aid, student affairs, student life, and more by institutions.

3 - ​​Build relationships with institutions in a digital setting. 

4 - ​​Students easily filter, sort, like, and save institution profiles & information to their "student portal" to find institutions that fit what they are seeking.

5 - ​Students have the ability to browse pre-recorded videos that have been uploaded by institutions.  This provides further opportunities for prospective students to get-to-know institutions and be able to go back on their own time to continue to learn about an institution.
6 - NEW!  LIVE CHAT!  Instantly chat with a college, military branch, or training program and get your questions answered quickly during the LIVE Fair time blocks!

​Having multiple ways to connect offers higher levels of engagement between students and institutions to help build relationships, grow engagement, and ensure quality interactions even within the virtual world.

​STUDENT DIRECT TEXT MESSAGING / email REMINDERS FOR LIVE SESSIONS ​

1 - ​​From the moment a prospective student registers for the virtual event, they start receiving hyper-personalized email and text message communication to keep them informed and updated with times/events/etc.

2 - These communication flows are personalized to each student and provide them the information needed for their virtual experience in a smooth, efficient, & clear way to connect.
