Change Student Behavior through Better Digital Communication 

Presented by Brad Raizner, WashU '26

Are your emails, texts, and digital outreach actually motivating students to act—or simply adding to the noise? This session explores how message framing can meaningfully influence student engagement with career development opportunities. Drawing on a multi-campus study of undergraduate participants, the webinar examines which communication strategies most effectively prompt students to take action on career-related tasks.

Participants will learn how different framing approaches—such as self-efficacy, encouragement, statistics, and benefit-based messaging—impact motivation and follow-through, and why messages that speak to students’ identity and self-concept outperform traditional promotional language. The session also shares practical insights from real-world testing, including optimal timing, formatting, and tone for digital communications that resonate with today’s students.

Designed for career services professionals, student affairs practitioners, and higher education communicators, this webinar offers actionable strategies to transform routine outreach into behavior-changing communication. Attendees will leave with research-informed techniques they can immediately apply to increase engagement, improve participation, and better connect students to opportunities that support their long-term success.
