PHILADELPHIA, PA — CampusESP is expanding its presence in higher education professional associations through a partnership with NODA, the Association for Orientation, Transition, and Retention in Higher Education, which has selected the company’s engagement platform to serve more than 4,300 members worldwide.
The agreement makes CampusESP the technology provider for NODA Connect, the association’s online community and resource hub, replacing its previous platform with a centralized system for member communications, professional networking and event management.
The partnership extends CampusESP’s technology beyond its existing applications in student and family engagement to support professionals responsible for student orientation, campus transitions and retention programs.
NODA Connect will incorporate personalized member portals, interest-based discussion boards and event management capabilities. Members will also be able to access association resources, receive organizational updates and communicate directly with colleagues across institutions.
For NODA, the transition is intended to reduce administrative demands while improving access to professional resources and opportunities for collaboration.
“CampusESP gives us the flexibility and ease of use our previous system couldn’t, and it means less time managing software and more time building community,” said Joyce Holl, NODA’s executive director.
The platform will support year-round engagement, including activities surrounding NODA’s annual conference, scheduled for Nov. 10–13, 2026, in Atlanta, Georgia.
Founded in 1976, NODA serves university administrators, orientation directors, higher education faculty and student leaders involved in programs designed to help students enter college, adjust to campus life and remain enrolled.
CampusESP Chief Executive Officer Dave Becker emphasized the role those professionals play in shaping the early college experience.
“NODA’s members are the professionals shaping how tens of thousands of students and families experience their first weeks on campus,” Becker said.
The partnership positions CampusESP as the provider of a central communications and networking system for an international professional association whose members work across student orientation, transition and retention services.
