An admissions display that shows families who you are
Prospective families judge a school in the first few minutes of a visit, usually while they wait for a tour to start. A welcome center display gives them something real to explore: your programs, traditions and graduates.

Why it matters
Brochures don’t show a school’s culture
Admissions offices rely on viewbooks, a slideshow and a few framed photos. Families leave with facts but little sense of what the school feels like. An interactive display lets them see students, teams, performances and alumni for themselves.

How it works with Hardware
Admissions and Welcome Center Display, step by step.
Three steps
Share how tours run
Tell us where families wait and for how long. Rocket recommends a wall mount, kiosk or WonderWall and prepares a free mockup of the welcome area.
Settle placement and connection
Facilities or IT confirms mounting, accessible placement, a power outlet and wired Ethernet or high-speed Wi-Fi.
Launch before open house
Connect the display and launch. Admissions staff update photos and highlights in the editor through the year.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Admissions and Welcome Center Display tips
Plan for a seated wait
If families wait on a couch, a wall display they can see from their seats works better than a kiosk across the room.
Show your students, not stock photos
Use your own students, teachers and spaces. Families notice the difference.
Keep it current each season
Update for fall open houses and spring visit days so families see recent events.
Let tour guides use it
Student ambassadors can start a tour at the display, pulling up the team or program a family asks about.
