Watch The Recording 

The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year create one of the most unpredictable moments in the enrollment cycle. Students disappear into exams, holiday plans, and part-time work. Families shift their focus to travel, budgets, and year-end stress. Traditional outreach loses steam, yet decisions are still taking shape in the background.

What most institutions miss is that the holiday season does not pause student interest. It simply changes the conditions under which students pay attention. When content is fast, visual, and easy to consume during short pockets of downtime, students engage more than you expect. When it is long, heavy, or effort filled, it gets ignored until January, often permanently.

This session explores how to turn the seasonal slowdown into a strategic advantage. You will hear real examples of colleges that kept momentum strong by delivering small, thoughtful touchpoints that fit naturally into holiday life. These touchpoints sparked family conversations, renewed excitement, and stronger confidence at a time when most schools went quiet.

Join StudentBridge for a timely conversation on how to stay top of mind while everyone else presses pause, and how the right kind of digital storytelling can create measurable shifts in engagement and yield during the weeks that typically underperform.
