<div><span style="font-size:small;">William Jewell College is a small campus with just 1100 students. Combined with centralized campus "heartbeats" like our digital library and student union, Jewell is a place in which one feels as if they are always plugged in to campus community. Ironically, Jewell campus initiatives have had a profoundly difficult time relaying information and motivating the student body to attend events. This, combined with the small size of the college, can produce lackluster engagement at events. In short, serendipity and word of mouth are both relied upon and coming up short when it comes to campus communications.<br/span></div>== The Problem ==<div><br/span id="docs-internal-guid-a7492f0f-dc1e-7346-7c57-add4508b7f2d"></divspan style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of main problems that we identified as a we completed our landscape canvas was the &nbsp;problem of communication between the students and the administration. Often student would be frustrated by the lack of response and ability to communicate to the college administration. There’s no clear way for student to express their concerns and suggest change.<div/span><br/span></div>== Tactic 1: Define an Ideal Solution The Idea ==<div>Our overarching goal is to be able to reach every student on Jewell's campus fully digitally. This will require a multi tiered approach<div><span id="docs-internal-guid-a7492f0f-dc1e-7346-7c57-add4508b7f2d"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; color: A centralized calendar with all campus activities that is readily accessible and easy to add events to is a starting point. From therergb(51, 51, organizational mechanisms 51); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In brainstorming ideas we found several ideas that allow the events to be easily sorted by type and time is would provide a necessary component. Yet this vision needs small bandaid to include at a glance features such as the capacity to see what is happening at "Jewell Today" or "Jewell This Week." Fast, relevant, easily accessible information. As an incentive, larger problem but the idea we want to capitalize on an individuals desire believe to be in the know by having auxiliary resources including description of campus clubs and their leadership, brief descriptions of events, and clarify what might be happening on campus not relevant to students. For example, solution a Trustee meeting or debate tournament--something comprehensive website that is not essential for allows students to know but may help explain what is happening ask questions and give a sense of contextget answers. While having information accessible is nice, sometimes it is not enought. This is why our vision also includes In addition to the website a network with a texting service, and push notifications committee would be formed to iPads from a scheduling app organized by student life. It is essential our concept work around address the Jewellverse initiative in which each student has an iPadsubmissions. This platform will committee would be ideal for our final vision.</div>== Tactic 2: Build Momentum made up of students faculty and Prove a Need<br/> ==<div>The above goal is a good oneadministration, but it could never be feasible in every semester the immediacy for cost and logistical reasons. As such we committee would like to first create hold a first iteration of our larger goal public forum in which students could ask for centralized communicationsthe reasoning behind different responses. This could simply include The website will provide students a "Jewell Today" function on public medium to interact with the Student Senate website administration while working with a "Jewell This Week" link beneath it. While the Senate Website does not have the capacity for push notifications, another average Jewell app does, and the Provost of the college has already given us permission to use that to link to senate's website weeklystudents busy schedule. By offering a single push notification (released at the same time weekly when The format will allow students to submit questions and staff are typically comingling over cookies) comments anonymously or with a link to a source of informationtheir name attached, we hope to create a habit of referring to this somewhat rudimentary app often. If we can prove while students use this, hopefully we can get the funding and logistical backing upvote submissions they relate to create a more elaborate version of our plans.</span></span></div>== Tactic 3: Create a Communication Mechanism Between Campus Leaders<div><br/> == <span style="font-size:smaller;"/div>Separately, student leaders often find themselves working within a bubble without knowledge of other activities on campus. This is why we would like an organizational platform for working between campus leaders. This would allow collaboration on similar projects and avoid over programming students with too many activities one week and too few the next. Finally if campus leaders are aware of what is happening on campus in other spheres, they can communicate to the groups relevant to them and hopefully spark a culture of give and take by attending other groups events.</spandiv>
