This document summarizes a presentation about using the Pecha Kucha storytelling format to improve campus visit presentations. Pecha Kucha limits presentations to 20 slides shown for 20 seconds each, encouraging storytelling over statistics. The presentation argues that Pecha Kucha aligns better with how people naturally learn through stories, and that it can increase student engagement during information sessions by focusing on sharing experiences rather than reciting facts and figures. It provides suggestions for colleges to adopt Pecha Kucha as the standard format for all admission presentations.
