Decoupled by Design: Kansas State's Case for Scaffolded Orientation
Tuesday | November 17 | 2:00PM ET
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
By the end of a traditional orientation day, a new student has been handed months of information and asked to make decisions about most of it. Kansas State University decided the problem was not the information. It was including all of it in one day.
In this Webinar:
Join Holly Gerke, Ph.D., Associate Director of New Student Orientation and Engagement at Kansas State University, as she shares how K-State pulled enrollment out of orientation day, how she made the case for the change across the university, and what she learned when she measured the results.
In this webinar, you'll discover:
- Why enrollment and orientation are two different jobs
- How completion tracking turns a required course into one students finish early
- What in-person days become when the information is already handled
- How online orientation lets students arrive at advising already prepared
- What the research found: higher GPAs in the first and second semesters
