This document discusses providing in-office support experiences for off-campus students through virtual technologies. It notes that 75% of college students commute and juggle other responsibilities while 47% dropout. A new virtual platform called Cranium Cafe aims to replicate on-campus meetings for off-campus students by allowing them to directly access advisors and tutors without downloads or special logins. This could help reduce dropout rates by increasing face-to-face support for students who cannot physically visit campus offices.
