Proud we’re able to play a small part in helping new & prospective students, ambassadors & uni staff stay connected, in touch & up-to-date as we all get used to a new normal. Bit of juggling going on for the CampusConnect team in various locations in 🇬🇧 & 🇮🇪 #unisupport #wfhsetup – at Manchester, England

This cycle we're seeing more faculty & wider university staff members (outside of recruitment/admissions teams) contribute to the CampusConnect service. This gives huge value to prospects & strengthens their early bond with the institution. Check out how they're contributing 👇
