The inability to travel and meet students, their counselors, and families during face-to-face recruiting visits left a void when it came to successfully engaging students. So a key question keeping admissions professionals up at night seems to be \u201cHow do we engage next-gen students more efficiently?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_concerns_universities_about_student_engagement_today\"><\/span>What concerns universities about student engagement today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When competing for the awareness of the TikTok generation, it\u2019s not enough to just capture their attention at the beginning of their college application journey and call it a day. Digital platforms like Cialfo offer a number of ways to engage students and keep their attention throughout the application process using the content&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cialfo.co\/blog\/video-content-for-students\">media that students prefer<\/a>. Universities that are still using email as their primary communication method may be missing right-fit candidates, especially in China where students rarely use email at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Developing_effective_student_engagement_strategies\"><\/span>Developing effective student engagement strategies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To effectively engage students, universities need to move \u201cbeyond the brochure\u201d and offer students dynamic content illustrating the unique reasons why their university stands out among the rest. While digital platforms make it easier for students to research college options, there are also hundreds of universities vying for their attention. Students on the&nbsp;<strong>Cialfo Student Advisory Board<\/strong>&nbsp;recently shared their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cialfo.co\/blog\/what-students-want\">thoughts<\/a>&nbsp;on what types of content can help universities break through the noise and keep students engaged. Some of the content and delivery ideas they shared included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Videos, blogs, and posts from actual international students at the university.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short, snappy, and memorable listicles, infographics, and concise videos.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More inclusive content featuring people they can identify with.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vlogs about student life, accommodation, food, local events, etc.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Content around trending courses and careers and success stories of alumni.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Combining consistent, compelling content with informative online events helps universities build stronger and more authentic relationships with the students they are trying to reach.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"
