University of Rochester students earning a Digital Media Studies degree improved our SPIRIT NYS website and social media as the focus of their 2021-2022 capstone project. Their efforts led to increased visits to our website and greater interaction with our social media. They describe their process in this video: Project | Spiritcapstoneteam
The students worked under the direction of Stephanie Ashenfelder, Director, Digital Media Studies. They were also awarded a $1500 grant to support advertising on SPIRIT’s social media sites: Facebook, Twitter (@SPIRITNYS) and Instagram (spiritnys).
