YouVisit, a New York-based video-content provider deployed as an industry-standard higher-education recruitment tool, will be on the Auraria Campus to capture images for Metropolitan State University of Denver’s virtual tour May 7–8. The resulting images will be integrated into the University’s webpages and other online presence.
“With our large population of nontraditional students, this tool is useful for recruiting students who don’t have room in their busy schedules to visit campus in person,” said Alysha Rowzee, assistant director of Admissions Visits and Events. International students are a population this will directly benefit as well.”
Previously captured YouVisit images are somewhat integrated into the University’s Admissions sites for recruitment and virtual tours. Increased integration is planned once the updated images have been captured and uploaded.
Departments that will have their facilities photographed have been informed of timing and preparation details. More general areas are also a priority to give prospective students a good impression of the Auraria Campus. Front-facing offices in the following locations should be camera-ready during the listed times:
Aerospace and Engineering Sciences Building
- May 7, 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Jordan Student Success Building
- May 7, 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Science Building
- May 8, 11-11:30 a.m.
Tivoli Student Union
- 2-3 p.m. on May 8
Administration Building
- May 8, 3:30-4 p.m.
Recommended preparation includes:
- Requesting that visible staff members wear MSU Denver swag.
- Removing visible clutter.
- Displaying any awards, banners and branded material that offices want to show off.
