Online education offers flexibility. Organic connection is harder.

Online education excels in its adaptability to students of all needs, backgrounds, and schedules — but online students don't walk across a quad, stop at bulletin boards, or hear their name announced in a crowded room.

Recognition creates a campus connection students can experience from anywhere.
