JCSU CAMPUS NEWSLETTER | May 22, 2014
TODAY’S FEATURES
In the spring, Higher One, Inc. created the Roadmap to Your Success Video Contest, asking students to make a two minute video about the tools and resources their colleges provide to help make them successful students.
Students were to address the following questions:
1. Explain how your college or university helps you in your quest to achieve your degree. What tools and resources does your campus provide to help you on this quest? Examples could include career services, academic advisement, student groups, online tools, etc. Please be as specific as possible.
2. How does having these tools/resources on campuses, help you manage academic and personal commitments to successfully reach your goal of graduating? Also tell us how you have used these tools/resources?
3. If you could offer one recommendation to a new college student about using the tools/resources your college/university provide, what would it be?
Three winning videos were chosen, and our STARS Program student technicians – Brandon McMurray, Andrea Meneses, and Brencis Stanford – placed second receiving $500. Their video highlighted the impact of technology and student learning, featuring the laptop program and the institution’s transition to the tablet initiative and ebooks.
Their video will be featured on the Higher One website shortly.
