Case Study: Champlain College boosts commencement engagement with Walls.io

Champlain College Engages Students With a Social Wall

Champlain College sought to enhance engagement for its major events, particularly its Commencement ceremony. The challenge was to create a more interactive experience that could involve students, faculty, and families, including those not active on social media. To address this, the college partnered with the vendor Walls.io to utilize its social wall product.

Walls.io provided a comprehensive social wall solution that was embedded on the event website and displayed on large screens at the venue. A key feature implemented was Direct Posts with a QR code, which allowed attendees without social media accounts to contribute content easily, significantly simplifying the workflow for the college's staff. The results were greater engagement and a wealth of user-generated content. Over several years of using the Walls.io social wall, it has become a staple of the Commencement ceremony, with increased recognition and use of the event hashtag, fostering a strong sense of community.
