Dynamic Web Portal - Overview

College students don't work 8 to 4, do you?
Effective communication starts with an environment that can support it!

In member based organizations such as a students' association, college students are the owners. Each student pays a yearly student fee that is used to provide useful and relevant services that help the large student body. Students are the owners, yet many are apathetic and don't participate in student run events or vote for student elections. Through effective communication your students' association will be in the position to better serve your students.

Effective communication can have many benefits:

• Maintain an informed student body
• Promote linkage between students
• Reduce student apathy
• Understand the needs of your students
• Deliver services that your students need

The dynamic web portal in its simplest form is a well designed content based website that provides access to information about your students' association's services and events. Traditionally, students' associations have attempted to create their own online presence. Unfortunately for many, their attempts have failed. This is mostly due to the lack of technical, business and usage knowledge that is required in building a successful online presence. Anyone can make a webpage but only a few can make one that is successful. As the basis of our strategy, we will build an environment that can support effective communication.

The web portal and other SWAP Technology services allow your organization to focus more on your students and less on how to reach them.
