An Enrollment Engine to Connect with the Ideal Student

During our discovery, OHO worked closely with the marketing and admission teams to define and understand the motivators for the ideal Dominican student. The site imagery and content strategy aim to amplify and highlight how Dominican meets the needs and motivations of the ideal students. By weaving key message throughout the site, we reinforced a sense of alignment between what motivates the student and what Dominican provides.

A Uniquely Californian Experience

Evocative imagery and community stories showcase Dominican's place as a global campus community with an enlightened perspective on social responsibility, environmental stewardship, ethical reasoning, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The Dominican Experience

The unique paradigm of the Dominican Experience showcases the inherent advantages of a small school education — including intimate class sizes and access to faculty. In addition, Dominican offers a four-tiered approach to student success: integrative coaching, community engagement, digital portfolios, and signature work.

A Unique Academic Model Results in Radical Outcomes

Dominican University’s primary value proposition is predicated not just on its size and level of care for its students, but on a proven evidence-based model for academic instruction. This key message is woven throughout the program and degree pages. These pages function as hub pages with all the key information – academic experience, outcomes, internships, student profiles, and admissions details.

The Dominican campus' exceptionalism shines through brightest in the context of the rolling hills and mountains of Marin County that surround it. The new design incorporates those landscapes as natural backdrops of Dominican student life site-wide.
