How to use social media walls in education

Event walls

Use a social wall to engage students and parents during events. Be it sports events, events organised by students, conferences, graduation and welcome parties, or even fundraising events — a social wall will connect your community, help you collect authentic User-Generated Content and spread the word about your university.

Permanent displays

University social media wall displays help create a sense of community. They foster interaction and engagement and are a great way to show school pride. You can also use them to spread relevant information to students, whether it’s about cancelled classes or upcoming events, or just encourage them to share their campus experience.

CWRU has integrated a social wall into a two-story, multi-touch video wall on campus. The social wall has become an integral part of the university’s marketing, providing information, entertainment and creating a sense of community at the campus’ central hub.

Website widgets

Using a social wall on the university website helps you keep students up to date with content that you already create for your social media channels. It also adds compelling social proof by displaying authentic content posted by your students. This is content that’s highly influential and will encourage new students to pick your university over others.

A Two-Storey Multimedia Wall at CWRU Campus Serves as Communication and News Hub

The Tinkham Veale University Center has a two-story multimedia wall by the entrance. This multi-touch video wall is a communication hub that brings students, staff, and faculty together.

Jason Hawk

Director of Sales

Our two-story media wall, with its two social walls, keeps our campus community informed and connected. We get a lot of requests from all over campus, asking us to display specific department accounts or hashtags on the wall. The media wall is also an excellent selling point for conferences and workshops hosted at our venue. Event organizers love seeing content for their hashtags show up on the big screens.

Champlain College Engages Students With a Social Wall

Champlain College uses the social wall for Commencement every May, displays it on big screens, and gets some great engagement from the community. They use Direct Posts to collect user-generated content beyond social media and smartly repurpose this content.

Kaylee Sullivan

Community Content & Communications Manager

The more we use the wall, year after year, the more it becomes a staple of our ceremony. I just want to continue to show how much engagement we’re getting and all the fun ways it can involve parents, families, and students. And it really gets people excited to see themselves up on the screen.
