Maven's community platform helps bring together community, content, and calendar, all in one place. This is a significant pain point for students today so we're excited to introduce this new centralized destination for students.

First, here's a quick tour showing you what students will experience:

When you launch your next cohort, we encourage you to start with an onboarding email that welcomes students to the course. Your new Maven community includes a customizable introduction template. Click here to learn how to create an intro template for your next cohort.

Remember: when you're introducing students to your community, make sure your student portal open date is set to a date in the past. Click here to double check your dates.

As students arrive, you can send course announcements that students can comment and react to. Your Announcements channel only allows posts from you and any staff you may have helping you. Click here to learn more about what the different channels are for.
