Syracuse Sends Personalized Video Messages to Admitted Students to Stop ‘Summer Melt’ – Wired Campus – The Chronicle of Higher Education via kwout

If you have an MSNBC anchor and founder of a major social networking site as alumni than this idea does look promising. The personalized message part isn’t as “personalized” as I was expecting and to be fair to Syracuse the videos are well shot and produced and most people won’t notice the insertion of the student name at the beginning. I would be interested in seeing if the method works.

This is a phenomenal report filled with easy to follow charts and lots of valuable information and is a must see.
