Bonner Program Campus Profile Video:

 

This video is your campus’ opportunity to share the great work you do, to educate others about the significance of your work, and to give others the opportunity to get involved in service. 

Remember, this video is a tool for your program: use it for recruitment of new Bonners or to explain your mission to potential Community Partners.

 

This video should clearly communicate what your program does, some important things about the community or campus context in which you work, and who your work impacts.  It should be designed for an audience as varied as your university’s president to a parent of a future Bonner student.  Be creative in this process, but please always keep in mind the following things:  

---

Consider: When someone is done watching it, will they know the name of your college and town, the issues your service work addresses, and why it matters to you?  Remember, your video will later be on YouTube or other websites and seen by people who are not familiar with your Bonner Program?

---

A few other special things to think about:

1. Using captions - a great way to let the viewers know more details (who is speaking, where are they from, what's the location)
2. Using captions with narration - even better, especially since we want to be inclusive of all people (regardless of age, background, and abilities)

Last Year's Winners:

Carson Newman

 

Commentary on the video: Last year, Bonner alum Jennifer Tramel, began the “Bobo Show” at her Carson-Newman campus.  The “Bobo Show” was a YouTube video broadcast which highlighted a new Bonner each week and students logged on each week to see who would be the latest interview.  The “Bobo Show” helped to build a much stronger community on campus, momentum Carson-Newman has been able to use to better serve their community.

 

 

Augsburg College

 

 

Commentary:  The campus profile made by Augsburg does a great job at informing viewers about their campus.  The Bonners explain the goals of their campus, events they are holding, plans for the future, and highlight community partners.  In addition, pictures and videos help to show the campus beyond just words.
