Our Solution
Yellowdig Connect

I really like this tool for community building. We used it as an orientation tool for our very first course at this University and it helped us be less anxious, befriend our classmates, and talk about our school and work lives in a comfortable environment.

A higher sense of belonging
Decreased melt
Increased first term retention
Yellowdig allowed me to share my thoughts and ideas without being judged or discriminated against. I have made connections with peers on Yellowdig that I have never met in real life, yet it feels as if I know them.

OES's partner institution implemented Yellowdig in the early student lifecycle as a welcome-style community. Read more.
7% increase in first-term retention
This means, 7% more students moved past census dates resulting in real tuition revenue.
Estimated $144k in first-year revenue realization per 1k students
In just the first term, this results in around $144k in first-term tuition recovery per 1k students that pass through Yellowdig lifecycle communities.
