Students and their families eagerly await messages from colleges and universities. The firm Eduventures conducts a Student Sentiment Survey annually to understand better how college-bound high school students research colleges and how they perceive institutional recruitment outreach. This year’s data include responses from 6,100 high school seniors, juniors, and sophomores across the nation. Respondents were asked whether they recalled a school that communicated particularly well during the crisis, and if so, what that communication entailed. Sixty-eight percent of seniors had positive experiences with institutional COVID-19 messaging . The top five communicators based on frequency and consistency of mention are listed in no particular order as follows:
Alvernia University
Prairie View A&M University
Southern Utah University
Oregon State University
University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
