PROBLEM
While the Student Peace Initiative (SPI) host many impactful events throughout the year, many students attending Loyola University of New Orleans lack awareness about these events from the organizations primary point of outreach, Instagram. On top of this, students who want to become part of the team often feel hesitant because there is no designated place to do so online.
WHY IT MATTERS
The more students get involved in SPI the greater the success rate of the events they host, leading to a more positive impact on the world. Further, one designated place with everything they need will make the process of joining the team and/or attending events more effective and friendly.
GUIDING QUESTION
How can Loyola better support the Student Peace Initiative by giving them an online platform that fosters community and outreach?
RESEARCH
During a meeting with the Student Peace Initiative, members of the organization expressed interest of having more call to action and a better display of teamwork. Because SPI relies heavily on event participation, having photos from the events opens new avenues for students to get a glimpse into the group's activities, community engagement, and overall impact, ultimately encouraging greater involvement.
KEY INSIGHTS
// Have as many call to action features as possible
// Use images from events to reinforce community and a tight-knit bond
// Let the photos be key in the website's overall look and feel
