Get your club or organization in the spotlight by sharing photos or videos from one of your events or meetings! These recap posts are a great way to attract new members and highlight the cool things your club is doing.
Each club may submit one event or meeting per semester for posting. Content must be created by a club member and may receive light editing by our team.
Examples:
Photos from a spotlight event
Short video of a volunteer activity
Behind-the-scenes glimpses of a club meeting
How it works:
Fill out the club content form before your event or meeting.
Review filming guidelines, sample videos, and helpful tips.
Submit your photos or videos after the event or meeting for review
Please note: The number of recap posts each month is limited. If your content is approved, our team will share the posting timeline, which may mean your post is scheduled a bit later.
