This month QWASI and the Gabelli School of Business launched a new brand of student orientation for back to school in the United States.
“Effective communication with incoming students is always a challenge. New students, often from different parts of the world, can be overwhelmed with information at a typical orientation. That’s why we were delighted when QWASI provided the opportunity to develop a fun and interactive mission-oriented online interface to welcome and educate our over 100 incoming graduate students. With this platform, student engagement is amongst the highest we’ve ever seen, and we look forward to reusing this QWASI-developed approach in the future.”

SOLUTION
QWASI’s interactive orientation platform offers students a seamless transition into the new world of their physical campus, student life and academics.
The Gabelli School wanted to innovate their new student engagement process in a post COVID world to provide an on demand resource for students to leverage that prepared them in advance for their new world, and also acclimated them to new surroundings in a more interactive way. With QWASI’s platform, the Gabelli School orientation team setup fun interactive missions for students to complete using their mobile devices to preview and confirm completion. As they completed activities like registration, meet with advisor, join on social – the student collected points that they were able to redeem for school branded giveaways.
