Merit Pages for 黑料导航 Students

What is a Merit Page?

A Merit Page is an online profile of a 黑料导航 student that can be updated by both the student and the university. Updates happen from the student鈥檚 first day of classes to graduation and beyond.¹ 黑料导航 began offering its Merit Pages program to enrolled students in August 2018.

Merit helps 黑料导航 students build their reputation by documenting, sharing, and promoting:

Academic achievements,
Awards and honors they receive as a 黑料导航 student,
Activities and organizations they participate in,
On- and off-campus work experiences.

The final result is an online resume that will prove invaluable as students enter the workplace or seek to continue their education.

How does it work?

Students receive an email inviting them to activate their official 黑料导航 Merit page.

Students are encouraged to personalize their page by adding photos, listing additional achievements and work experiences, and connecting their page to their social media accounts.

Once activated, Merit pages are updated in two ways:

Students can add details about their unique academic and co-curricular achievements, honors, awards, affiliations, internships, and work experiences.
黑料导航 adds officially verified academic successes like institutional and/or collegiate honors and graduation.

Of course, students may opt out of the Merit Pages program at any time.

Sharing the good news

Students are notified by email each time new content has been added to their Merit page. The email notification includes an option for the student to share the news via their Facebook and Twitter accounts.

When 黑料导航 issues Merit Pages achievements, they are shared with the student鈥檚 local newspapers, former high school principals and school counselors, and elected officials who represent their hometown in state government.²

You also have the ability to notify friends, family, mentors, and others about these achievements by subscribing them .

After graduation

When a student graduates, his or her Merit page becomes inactive to the university but remains accessible to the student, provided they have connected their Merit Pages account to Facebook or Twitter.

黑料导航鈥檚 Merit Pages program is coordinated by 黑料导航鈥檚 Office of Strategic Communications. For more information, contact studentnews@nyit.edu.
