Potential idea - make website content more outward facing
Opened this issue · 5 comments
Trying to sell coop to people who aren't currently scholars (raising awareness for high school students, current uni students etc). Could attract more/better applicants and more sponsors. Limitation is, I doubt many
Perhaps also include more information about what coop is - short description & link to official coop page. Could put on the homepage after "A society for co-ops, by co-ops.", or under the about us page. And/or, include more info/pics about past events under "What we do" in the about us page, or create new page/subheading - would help to increase current coop engagement in events like coop olympics, coop ball etc, as well as attract new scholars/sponsors.
More of a pubs issue though tbh
It is but, that's certainly something worthwhile to consider. I'm unsure how closely it aligns with the stated mission of the Co-op society and it places a burden upon us to constantly maintain the accuracy of our information relating to the scholarships terms, conditions, application process, etc. HOWEVER, it may curry favour with the Co-op office which is often beneficial - I'll chat to Aks about it :)
We wouldn't have to go into detail about the scholarship if we don't want to. Just have a "What is coop?" section that says something like "The UNSW coop scholarship is a prestigious scholarship spanning several degrees involving several industry placements at well-known sponsor companies, generous financial support, leadership and networking events, and a tight-knit community of likeminded individuals. See https://www.coop.unsw.edu.au/ for more information." And then perhaps a seperate gallery with photos from past Coop Soc events.
Focus on store for now. This is a nice-to-have that'd be relatively easy to implement later on if desired.
We definitely have plenty of time for it :)
