Visit Campus Content Package
SUMMARY
Again and again, the numbers reflect that one of the most influential drivers of a student’s decision to commit to Purdue is a visit to campus. We want to encourage students to visit campus in person, but we’ve also provided ways to experience campus online for out-of-state or international students.
To feed the excitement of a campus visit, we’ve developed assets such as a fun personality quiz and a hyperlapse tour, noting popular highlights along the way.
STRATEGY
All of the assets offered here are evergreen resources that can be used to highlight campus. Our goal is to communicate that Purdue offers many ways for students to familiarize themselves with campus, and get to know iconic Purdue buildings and landmarks.
With the many in-person visit opportunities offered by Purdue, these assets offer prospective students a unique look at campus.
RESOURCES INCLUDE
- “Which Purdue Icon Are You?” quiz and link to landing page
- Hyperlapse tour video
- Video of Kanika/Fatima (coming soon) at Loeb Fountain
- Aryana Lynch social graphics with quote
- Purdue Union Drone Tour video
- Recommended social posts for all of the above
