The University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) identified an opportunity to develop a virtual orientation that would equip learners with the essential knowledge and tools for success within their first 30 days at the University.

Join us for an insightful conversation with the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) team as they share how they've transformed their digital experience to serve over 44,000 students worldwide.

The UMGC team will share compelling data demonstrating that students who complete their digital orientation have higher course completion rates, higher GPAs, higher re-enrollment rates, and lower failure rates. Learn how they track these metrics and use them to continuously improve the student experience.

In this webinar, Nancy Trojanowski, Ed.D, Dept. Chair, First Year Experience, and Marsha Fortney, Portfolio Manager, First Year Experience, will reveal how they've created a dynamic, personalized online orientation for their diverse student population—including military-affiliated students, undergraduates, graduates, and international learners. You'll discover how UMGC leverages technology to help students feel connected to their institution from day one, even in a predominantly online environment.

Leveraging learner feedback and insights from cross-functional teams across the university, our partners at Advantage Design Group have helped us reimagine UMGC’s virtual orientation. This platform is accessible globally through a single sign-on, ensuring a seamless experience for learners regardless of their location.

• The innovative feedback loop that keeps content fresh and responsive to student needs
• Strategies for using orientation completion data to identify at-risk students and improve success metrics

This webinar is ideal for orientation professionals, student affairs leaders, enrollment managers, and anyone interested in scaling personalized onboarding in online or hybrid environments. Whether you serve hundreds or thousands of students, you'll gain valuable insights on creating an orientation experience that helps students feel grounded and prepared for success.
