SUNY Oneonta Alumni Use Letters To Help New Students

SUNY Oneonta implemented a new project that aims to help new students transition into college life with letters from alumni.
Seventy letters were written to distribute to freshmen and transfer students. Students received letters from alumni that lived in the exact same dorm room when they attended the college.
Oneonta wanted to increase social media engagement by using Facebook to get their alumni involved in writing letters to offer advice and fond memories from their experience.
After overwhelming appreciation for the letters, the college plans to add them to their moving day tradition and are hoping to attract even more letters each year.
