4:18

You can spend hours planning university events, yet still struggle to reach new audiences. Event highlights offer a powerful way to extend the life of those moments and share your university’s culture, values, and achievements more widely.

When used thoughtfully, digital storytelling helps universities bring their unique story to life and engage prospective students in a way that feels authentic and memorable. Platforms like WorkCast make it easier to capture, showcase, and share those moments at scale.


Showcasing University Culture

Sharing university culture

Sharing university culture goes beyond listing courses or facilities. It’s about highlighting the traditions, people, and experiences that make your campus feel like home.

Celebrating Unique Traditions

Every university has traditions that shape its identity, from annual celebrations to long-standing rituals. Capturing these moments through event highlights helps prospective students understand what makes your institution distinctive.

  • Highlight key moments
    Short videos, clips, or image galleries from events can showcase the energy and atmosphere of campus life.

  • Bring in familiar voices
    Alumni and student perspectives connected to these traditions add authenticity and context.

These stories create a sense of belonging before students ever step on campus.


Student Experiences and Achievements

Students are at the heart of every university story. Their experiences and successes bring credibility and inspiration to your messaging.

  • Feature real success stories
    Highlight student achievements, leadership moments, or innovative projects that reflect your university’s strengths.

  • Capture everyday campus life
    Day-to-day moments often resonate just as strongly as big milestones, helping prospective students imagine themselves as part of the community.

Sharing these experiences turns event highlights into powerful storytelling tools.

Storytelling transforms events from one-off moments into lasting impressions. Rather than simply sharing information, it helps create emotional connection.

Capturing Attention with Digital Stories

Effective storytelling connects past, present, and future experiences in a way that feels human and relatable.

  • Create connected narratives
    Use event highlights to build a story over time, showing progression, growth, and community.

  • Use visuals intentionally
    Short clips, highlight reels, and images add depth and help stories land more effectively.

These approaches help prospective students see themselves reflected in your university story.


Strengthening Your Brand with Event Highlights

Event highlights are a natural way to reinforce your university’s brand.

  • Showcase what makes your events unique
    Whether it’s a guest speaker, student-led initiative, or academic showcase, highlights demonstrate energy and innovation.

  • Share content widely
    Reusing highlights across channels helps extend reach and keeps your university top of mind.

Consistent, well-curated highlights reinforce credibility and visibility.
