Email Is Dead–– How Institutions Can Engage Today's Students With The Right Tools

In the age of instant messaging, social media, and sleek productivity apps, email might feel like an outdated relic to the modern college student. Despite being a crucial communication tool in the professional world, email falls short in meeting the expectations and needs of today's tech-savvy students.

Recognizing the challenges that come with email, many educators have moved on to non-compliant solutions like text messaging, WhatsApp and GroupMe in an attempt to reach their students and improve learning outcomes. Unfortunately, students are bombarded with messages on these social platforms and most important messages are being left unread or deleted and marked as junk!

Join Pronto as they review communication and technology best practice. This data-driven discussion will include a deep-dive into the problems with phone, email and text messaging while also providing a hands-on review of Pronto’s fully integrated messaging tool that has connected institutions with millions of students–– instantly.
