Campaigns help to illuminate the steps needed to progress from a hopeful college goer to completion. OC campaigns help students keep on track and meet important deadlines. There is a digital campaign with flyers that can be sent out to learners and educators. The campus monitors showcase information. Most importantly, it’s the synchronicity of everyone talking about the same thing at the same time and being encouraging. This broad-based and multi-component strategy increases the likelihood of learners engaging in productive behavior
