Overview

This webinar will focus on developing/enhancing a commuter program to meet the needs of your commuter students. Nationally, 87% of college students live off campus. This is an opportunity for your campus to go beyond the campus zipcode and address the commuter challenges. We will discover several faces of commuter students and share best practices. Whether your commuter population is small or large, learn how a commuter program will increase the retention of your students.

Objectives

Participants will be able to:

define commuter students
create a simple communication plan for commuter students
