Castleton is pleased to announce the use of Merit, a digital media tool, to recognize and highlight student success.
Merit pages provide Castleton the opportunity to showcase student achievements by creating personalized stories and awards for on-campus accomplishment and posting them online. Achievements are then compiled into a professional, powerful online profile that showcases student success and involvement to friends, family members and potential employers.
For each achievement, students are presented a digital "badge" from Castleton, giving them recognition for honors such as scholarships, awards, and community engagement, which can be shared to Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites.
All Castleton students have access to their own page and receive their first achievement for enrollment upon registration to Castleton. Students will continue to receive recognition as their lives at Castleton progress.
Students are encouraged to claim their pages and enhance their profiles by adding photos, activities, and work experience.
