Finding solutions to help students find and build their community when first enrolling is a critical step in their success. In this week's episode, Mickey is joined by Cooper Jones, Co-founder and CEO of RahRah.
Mickey and Cooper look at the role of community and discuss various ways colleges and universities can better support students in the onboarding process, especially through the lens of the RahRah app.
Mickey also looks at the data that can be leveraged for orientation and #studentsuccess and service teams to better understand eachstudents' experience, and how well they are acclimating with their new community.
