How Campus Communities Connect

1
The Power of Campus Engagement

• How Campus Communities Connect, Network, and
  Thrive with Social Platforms

2
Connect through Online Campus Collaboration

• College students need highly developed social
  skills to succeed in college and beyond.
• Communication skills are the basic tools to
  connect and share knowledge, feelings, and
  resources.
• Collaboration skills allow us to participate in
  group functions, discussing ideas, learning about
  others perspectives, and exchanging constructive
  feedback.

Online Social Platforms Enable Communication On
Campus

• The greater academic community is made up of many
  smaller ones that intersect and communicate.
• Now that online social platforms are being
  adopted on many campuses, an enhanced, virtual
  network of communities makes it easier to
  participate.
• Students and faculty, researchers and
  administrators, all are discovering new ways to
  connect through social network platforms.

Network with Engagement Platforms that Empower
Students

• Students network through a private social
  platform to meet new people with common
  interests, or with differing points of view.
• Campus groups share research, trends, best
  practices, and a variety of expert content,
  making more of it accessible to a wider audience
  at all times.
• Students are able to interact directly with
  faculty to better understand curriculum and
  remain engaged throughout the year.

Engagement Platforms Build Personal and
Professional Relationships

• A campus engagement platform builds relationships
  within a community. Member profiles grow and
  change, becoming a valuable database and
  networking tool, as well as a resource for all.
• Gaming mechanics prompt engagement across
  multiple networks and enabling participants to
  achieve greater outcomes.
• Students, faculty and staff have a collaborative
  space to share knowledge and provide peer to peer
  support, in a more transparent learning process.

• The University System of Georgia (USG), depends
  on a centralized office of Information Technology
  Services (ITS).
• ITS handles essential academic information for
  over 315,000 students, plus 42,000 administrators
  and educators.
• HiveSocial from Enterprise Hive was chosen to
  activate GeorgiaBEST, a thriving network of
