NODA, the Association for Orientation, Transition, and Retention in Higher Education, today announced a new partnership with CampusESP, a leading engagement platform for higher education, to power NODA Connect, the Association’s online community and resource hub for its more than 4,300 members.
The upgraded NODA Connect replaces NODA’s previous platform, giving members an easier way to access Association resources, stay current on NODA news and events, and connect directly with peers across the orientation, transition, and retention field. The move brings CampusESP’s full suite of family and student communication tools — including a personalized member portal, interest-based discussion boards, event management, and other features built to support ongoing engagement — to NODA’s global membership.
“Our members are the heart of this Association, and they deserve a platform that makes it easy to find each other, share what’s working, and grow in this field together,” said Joyce Holl, Executive Director of NODA. “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.”
“NODA’s members are the professionals shaping how tens of thousands of students and families experience their first weeks on campus — so this partnership means a lot to us,” said Dave Becker, CEO of CampusESP. “We’re proud to give this community a platform built specifically for the kind of connection and engagement work they do every day.”
Founded in 1976, NODA supports university administrators, orientation directors, higher education faculty, and student leaders across a global membership dedicated to student success through orientation, transition, and retention programming. NODA Connect will give members a central place to engage with the Association year-round, including ahead of and during NODA’s Annual Conference (NODAC), taking place November 10–13, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia.
