Faculty and staff are invited to participate in a new campus-wide photo project documenting university life.
“A Week at the G,” which takes place March 31 through April 6, expands upon the popular “Day in the Life” concept by showing what it’s like to be a Spartan over the course of an entire week. Through a collaborative, coordinated effort between students, faculty, staff, alumni, and others, UNCG can generate a wave of compelling, relevant, distinctive visual content. These photos and videos, spanning the entire UNCG experience, will be published by University Communications in a daily web journal and on social media.
University Communications (UC) wants Spartans in all areas to help show the world that there’s no place like UNCG.
As Chancellor Gilliam says, the University is at an “inflection point.” It’s a great time to show our broader community the many ways we provide opportunity, excellence, and impact as an institution.
Outcomes of this project will include, among other things, a collection of new videos and images that will be shared across campus for a wide range of uses over time; discoveries of additional Spartan success stories across all of our units; and amplification of the University’s “Find your way here” campaign.
How can you help?
Please share your photo ideas at this site by this Friday – for the week of March 31-April 6. Some of these stories will be covered directly by University Communications photographers.
UC also encourages departments and offices to identify experienced photographers who are able to capture and submit photos that week. UC will work with them ahead of time to identify and track coverage opportunities. Everyone else – from the Chancellor, school deans, and professors, to staff, study abroad students, athletes, and alumni at work – will be encouraged to submit their images by online form that week and/or share them on social media.
Visit the A Week at the G web page, which has additional information.
Contact social media manager Morgan Glover (mjglover@uncg.edu) or associate director of photography Martin Kane (mwkane@uncg.edu) if you have any questions or suggestions – or if you would like one of them to visit your department in the next two weeks to speak about the Week at the G.
