The Art of Texting Students

COR2 Sponsors

Location: River Bluff

MONDAY, 9:30 - 10:15 a.m.

Leaving voicemail is considered rude and email is for old people. 98% of students use texting as their primary form of communication. With texting, institutions are able to efficiently increase engagement throughout the student lifecycle. We have helped over 100 institutions implement texting on their campus. We are here to share what we have learned along the way. In this session, we will explore: - the legalities of texting. - how to gracefully manage opt-in, opt-outs. - recommendations for governance. - proper content/copywriting.
