Student Union launches new “societies” website

The UPEI Student Union (UPEI SU) launched a new website recently for societies and campus events.

The website allows student union-ratified societies to have a common place to post content and communicate with members. Developed in partnership with Integrated Communications, the project was a collaborative effort between representatives from various societies, and UPEI SU Vice-President Communications, Kate VanGerven.

'It was truly a group effort, and we can't thank Dave Cormier and his team at Integrated Communications enough for guiding us through this project,' says VanGerven. 'Not only will the website be an excellent resource for student societies, but we've also learned skills in how to manage a web project.'

Cormier, Manager, Web Communications and Innovations added, 'After receiving a number of requests from individual societies to help build sites, we approached the Student Union to discuss the idea of creating a portal for their sanctioned groups. But while we provided the technological support, we let the student representatives really manage the direction of the site. It's been a great collaboration."
