For Schools & Universities

A time capsule by letter for students: a letter to their adult self, years later in the mailbox.

Education is a stretch of intense change. In the press of lectures and exams, it is easy to lose sight of how much someone is growing.

Echo gives schools, universities, and alumni networks a physical way to stay connected: students write to their future selves; Echo stores, prints, and delivers by Swiss Post. The contents stay private. On Pro, the institution can enclose a cover letter.

How schools and universities use Echo

  • At the start: In orientation week, first-year students set down hopes, fears, and ambitions. Delivery at graduation becomes a record of the path they took.
  • Alumni: Offer Echo at the closing ceremony. The letter arrives at the one-year or three-year mark — with a cover letter from the alma mater, if you choose.
  • Study abroad: Capture the first days in a new country, to be read years later at home. Your dashboard keeps the overview. See packages
"Watching our seniors open the letters they wrote as first-years four years ago is the emotional high point of graduation week. It gives the whole course of study a deeper meaning."
