Parents are the top influencers for incoming first-year students, yet many schools struggle to communicate with them consistently and effectively. In this episode of Accelerate Slate, Susanna talks with Dave Becker, CEO and Co‑Founder of CampusESP, about what inspired the platform and how it supports parent engagement. They explore what parents expect from message frequency to topics that matter, along with common pitfalls to avoid. They also break down how CampusESP integrates with Slate!
