MVP E-Bits(TM)


Electronic mail "MVP E-Bits(TM)" are brief summaries of results from recent surveys of student athletes. Each E-bit, identified by the logo shown below, incorporates graphics and color to communicate visually an important aspect of the student-athlete experience. These electronic email messages are sent to all intercollegiate athletes, all coaches, all trainers, and athletic directors periodically throughout the academic term. Sample ebits can be seen below listed by the dates each were sent. We believe that this strategy solves an important challenge in targeting social norms messages to sub-populations on campus.

The most recent three years of E-Bits are listed here. E-Bits from previous years can be accessed in E-Bits archive.
