Project Details and Process

Social Media & Digital Communication

As a Student Engagement & Community Development Graduate Assistant, I leveraged various digital platforms to promote University Life events and initiatives. I created engaging social media posts for the New Student Orientation Instagram account, reaching incoming students and helping them feel connected to the Penn community from day one. I also contributed articles and announcements to the Penn Today website, the university's official news outlet, to showcase the impact of University Life programs and highlight student achievements.

Website Management and Calendar Updates:

To ensure that students’ access to accurate and up-to-date information about University Life events and opportunities, I managed calendar updates on the administration’s website, drafted and edited articles to publish and recap on important events and announcements.

By keeping the website current and user-friendly, I helped students stay informed and engaged with resources and programs available to them.

By crafting informative and engaging content for the University Life and Penn Today websites, I helped raise awareness of key initiatives, celebrate student and faculty achievements, and foster a strong sense of community.
