Decision Day and Admitted Student Celebrations

SUMMARY

We can’t wait to welcome all newly admitted Boilermakers, and we’ve developed two sets of assets to help campus celebrate — a welcome video and social post copy for Decision Day only, and another set of assets to keep the celebrations going all week.

RESOURCES INCLUDE

DECISION DAY RELEASE — Monday, Jan. 15, at 8 a.m. ET

  • :30 “Welcome Video” with corresponding social post copy

STUDENT CELEBRATIONS — Jan. 15-19

  • New animated “It’s Official” social graphic with corresponding social post copy
  • Existing social graphics/downloads: three total packages (Facebook, Instagram, X and LinkedIn), with corresponding social post copy

When linking to Purdue websites from social platforms or emails, it is recommended that UTM parameters be added to the URL in order to provide reporting on the activity. The Marketing and Communications  campaign URL builder allows you to easily configure these links and even request shortened Purdue-branded links.
