Because graduate students aren't undergraduates, they need orientation experiences that recognize their professional backgrounds, diverse geographic locations, and adult learner expectations – but some institutions are stuck offering undergraduate-focused campus tours that leave graduate students feeling disconnected.

Leaders at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater faced this exact challenge: how do you intentionally, and quickly, create a meaningful orientation experience for graduate students scattered across different states and countries, while serving both online and on-campus learners across four distinct colleges?

From Template to Launch in 30 Days – join us for an authentic conversation with Marianne Wolc, Project Portfolio Manager for the School of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education at UW-Whitewater, as she shares her team's remarkable journey from recognizing this gap to delivering a time-sensitive solution that truly meets graduate students where they are.

At this Webinar, You'll Experience

• Real Implementation Timeline: Discover how UW-Whitewater went from initial planning in June, development in July, to student-ready launch in August
• Template-to-Custom Strategy: Learn how they leveraged existing content frameworks while creating something uniquely theirs
• Multi-Modal Challenge Solved: See how they created one platform that serves both online and on-campus graduate students across four diverse colleges
• Resource-Smart Approach: Understand their cost-effective strategy using internal faculty, staff, and even their recruiter for video production
• Data-Driven Insights: Preview actual engagement metrics and what they mean for program improvement

Live Platform Demo: Preview key sections of UW-Whitewater's actual orientation, showing how they transformed standard templates into branded, voice-authentic content that reflects their "hands-on, not theoretical" approach.

This webinar is perfect for:

• Graduate school administrators and enrollment professionals
• Student affairs professionals managing adult learners
• Anyone tasked with creating digital orientation experiences
• Teams looking to modernize existing orientation processes

"Just start. Don't get inundated. Use the tools that are there, work with them first, and then make it your own."

You'll leave with practical strategies to overcome the blank page paralysis that stops many digital projects before they begin.

Registration is opening soon.
