Submissions

Meritpages.com creates personalized stories about these accomplishments, publishes them online at MeritPages.com, and sends them to hometown newspapers. This makes sure students get credit for the good work they’re doing on campus, which helps with summer jobs, internships, and even job interviews and references after graduation.

 

Why is MeritPages.com important for students?

MeritPages.com helps people who make decisions about internships, grad school, and jobs find the “good stuff” about students, and recognizes their accomplishments with badges that show that they’re authentic.

 A MeritPages.com profile creates a positive online identity for post-graduation success. 75% of companies research applicants online, and 70% have rejected applicants based on what they found there. 

 

How can you help?

Submit student accomplishments to Ali Wenger, communications specialist. Think about research presentations and publishing, conference attendance, departmental honor societies and awards, service learning initiatives, academic trips, volunteer activities, etc. The best hometown news releases include multiple students.

Use the below template to submit lists of student accomplishments. Simply save it to your computer, input the required information, and return to awenger@lvc.edu. If you don't know all of the information, that's ok. With the students' LVC email address, we can track down the missing pieces.
