Case Study: State University of New York engages students and community members with Walls.io

Spa Keeps Guests Informed With a Social Hub on Screens

The State University of New York's (SUNY) Got Your Back initiative sought to increase engagement at its events where volunteers assemble care bags for survivors of violence. They previously used static PowerPoint presentations to share information and resources, but found that students were not sufficiently connecting with that form of content. They partnered with Walls.io to implement a more dynamic solution.

Walls.io provided a social media wall that aggregated content posted with the program's hashtag, #SUNYsGotYourBack. This solution was displayed at events and conferences, successfully boosting real-time attendee engagement. The wall also served to promote the program and educate the community about vital resources. Since the program's inception, it has scaled up significantly, assembling over 100,000 comfort bags for survivors across New York.
