Virtual Orientation in Engage

We've heard from many campuses who are interested in how they can leverage Engage to support Orientation sessions. We've put together the following recommendations and step-by-step instructions on how to use Engage to connect your students with resources and information.

Step-by-Step

  • Involvement Import: Add orientation students to the organization you created.

  • Optional: Use Position Templates to designate any distinctions within the group – major, residence, transfer, etc.

  • Create a Position Template for Orientation Leaders to distinguish them from students

  • Communicate with students about orientation organization(s)

    • Options

      • Share News Post with organization members

      • Organization messaging (can message specific Positions if needed)

      • Send users link to Engage site home page (beneficial if you want to introduce them to other elements of the system)

      • Send users link to Summer Orientation 2020 organization page (URL at top of page)

    • Use Organization page to interact and communicate with group throughout summer

Additional Recommendations

  • Create recurring organization events to bring students together at key points over the weekend, week, summer, etc.

  • Embed videos into forms to guide students through specific trainings

  • Use Event Categories if students have options for events/trainings they can attend so they can search for specific events within a given category

  • Use Self-Report attendance URL or attendance imports to track participation

  • Use alerts to help students navigate to important campus information
