Orientation and Week of Welcome programs vary widely across campuses. Some take place over a single week, while others span the summer. Each institution has its unique culture, shaped by its location, traditions, and goals. Add to that the diversity of today’s students—each bringing their own perspectives, identities, and needs—and the task of creating an engaging and impactful event becomes even more complex.

This is where a Pro Speaker can make all the difference. At Metropolis, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We carefully vet our speakers to ensure they deliver messages that resonate with your community, leaving a lasting impact on students and families alike.

What Makes a Pro Speaker Stand Out?

Not every speaker is the right fit for the college and university market. Experience matters, but so does the ability to connect with students, families, and campus professionals. A Pro Speaker delivers more than a polished presentation—they engage audiences with authenticity, energy, and messages that truly hit home.

Take, for example, Pro Speaker David Coleman, a trusted partner for Orientation programs. His presentations consistently resonate with diverse campus communities, setting the stage for student retention and helping prevent melt by fostering connections and engagement from day one.

Why Choose a Pro Speaker for Orientation?

Here’s how a Pro Speaker can enhance your Orientation or Week of Welcome program:

• Custom-Tailored Presentations
  Every campus is unique. A Pro Speaker adapts their content to reflect your institution’s culture, values, and priorities, ensuring their message aligns with your goals.
• Diverse Audience Connection
  Today’s students and families bring a wide range of experiences and expectations. A skilled Pro Speaker knows how to create an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
• Setting the Tone for Success
  The right speaker inspires students and families to see themselves as part of the campus community, helping them navigate the transition and fostering a sense of belonging.
• Proven Results
  Metropolis speakers have a track record of success in the college and university market. Their presentations are designed to engage students, reduce anxiety for families, and reinforce the value of your institution’s resources.

Supporting Your Team’s Efforts

Hiring a Pro Speaker doesn’t replace the hard work your team does—it complements it. By bringing in a seasoned professional, you can focus on the many logistical and operational demands of Orientation while knowing your students and families are in capable hands.
