Positioning the institution as the “guide” in each student’s journey resonates more deeply and creates lasting connections. 🎯 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝟕 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬” Most universities share the same selling points—great faculty, strong alumni, and global opportunities—but Voltaire challenges us to go further. Authentic, unique stories about real student experiences reveal what makes an institution genuinely distinct.
