RECRUITING SUPPORT

South of Sunrise Creative designs promotional materials to supplement recruitment efforts.

Recruiting support includes designed interactions for recruiters in settings that include conference vending and classroom presentations.

ONBOARDING SUPPORT
Onboarding solutions mindful of COVID-19 is a customized package offered by SOSC.
Admissions and advising is an important step in the education process as it provides students their first interaction with an institution. Special programs like First Year Experience provide benefit to institutions, but they must be designed in a manner that promotes access and equity. South of Sunrise Creative designs onboarding programs for targeted audiences, such as first generation and low-income scholars, that help with the transition to college life.
FINANCIAL AID
SUPPORT
Financing an education is one of the biggest barriers to prospective students in obtaining a degree. As a result, many students turn to loans and other means to pay for tuition, books, and housing at a price of high interest rates and long term agreements that bind students to debt. South of Sunrise Creative provides financial aid guidance by identifying funding sources and providing application support. Event planning around financial aid resources is a service SOSC provides.
RETENTION SUPPORT
It’s important for institutions to recruit new students and retain them once they’ve enrolled. Retention is often viewed as a semester to semester, year to year initiative, but South of Sunrise Creative approaches it as a day-to-day task. Doing so places a higher value on the student experience. Greater student engagement correlates to higher GPA, a greater affinity for the institution, and higher persistence. Retention support provided by SOSC includes: policy review, co-curricular design, and student services support.
