Georgia Southern University wanted a virtual option for its existing on-campus events. Georgia Southern partnered with StudentBridge to create a Virtual Event where prospective students could explore more than they ever could in a single day by viewing pre-recorded content — from presentations and recorded classes to walk-around tours, panel discussions, and more. Within a single virtual event, Georgia Southern increased their attendance from 400 in-person attendees to 15,000 virtual visitors. This led to their largest freshman class ever and continued enrollment growth over subsequent years.

  • Keeps visitors engaged between live sessions with on-demand content, live chat, curated social feed, and more

“Since we were able to reach so many students, and we had such a popular experience with our incoming class, this event is going to be virtual for us moving forward.”
