The messages a student receives from their institution are not just information: they are guidance, support, and sometimes the difference between feeling supported or not throughout their academic journey. However, communication is often fragmented: emails, notifications on various platforms, information lost in the noise. This affects both student motivation and satisfaction, as well as the work of the teaching staff.
Building community through communication
Communication can be more than an exchange of information: it can generate sense of belonging, trust and engagement.When messages are clear and tailored to the student's profile, students feel heard and a more human and effective experience is created.
Practical tips to get started today
- Identify all channels and audiences: emails, apps, learning platforms, internal networks.
- Centralize communication whenever possible.
- Segment your messages to make them useful and relevant.
- Create two-way channels: active listening and constant feedback.
- Be consistent and clear: avoid overwhelming and make sure the messages resonate with the student.
- Measure and adjust: review what works and what doesn't, to continuously improve.
- It fosters community beyond academics: activities, events, and informal spaces strengthen the connection.
How UNIFIT centralizes and improves communication
With UNIFIT, communication is simplified and makes sense:
- One place for everything:Notifications, alerts, events, courses, and surveys integrated into a single platform, preventing the dispersion of information.
- Relevant messages for each student,thanks to segmentation by course, profile or interests.
- Spaces for feedback and participation,such as surveys and chat, which facilitate active listening and allow students to express themselves.
- A more human educational experience,which accompanies the student at all times and shows them the events, activities and content that really interest them.
Ultimately, communication ceases to be merely academic and becomes a tool for strengthening relationships and create a cohesive community.Improving it is not just an operational matter: it is investing in the trust that unites the institution with each student, from the first contact (even as a pre-student) and throughout their entire academic journey.
Each message accompanies the student from minute one, building a lasting bond and laying the foundations for a strong and committed Alumni community,a relationship that is built and strengthened long before graduation day. UNIFIT gives you the tools you need; you just have to decide to take the step.
