Boosting Admissions with Interactive Campus Storytelling: 2025 Implementation Survey Results

Intent: research Campus tours remain the highest-impact recruitment activity—prospective students who visit campus enroll at 2.3 times the rate of those who never visit, according to the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
