Tips & Tools: Using Visuals on the Web for Your Org

As the Internet and social media continue to seep into nearly all aspects of our culture today, a visual revolution grows.

It’s no coincidence that web and social media content are moving toward fewer words and more visual representation. That’s because people are hard-wired to respond to visual stimuli. Visuals grab our attention, tap into our emotions, and move us to action in ways words can't do alone.¹ 

Consider these fascinating stats:

• By the end of 2012, 300 million pictures a day were uploaded to Facebook, and 40 million to Instagram.
• Ten percent of all the photographs made in the entire history of photography were made last year.¹

Here is an overview of the what and why of some of the most prominent photograph and video-sharing websites and mobile applications: YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram and Vine

HBHE student writes a Thank You to an HBHE Alum

This last summer, I was one of the lucky HBHE students to have a University of Michigan HBHE alum as my internship preceptor. I am so grateful for this experience and wanted to take this opportunity to share a bit about my internship with Nicole Adelman, the Executive Director of the Interfaith Hospitality Network at Alpha House. 

Glanz, Henry, Ramirez-Valles, Stokes come home to HBHE

Dr. Carla Stokes

Four UM HBHE doctoral alumni, who've made significant contributions to the field of public health, returned to SPH to share a bit of wisdom with current students at the day-long October 2nd Rackham Centennial Doctoral Alumni Lecture.

The event offered several ways for the alumni to connect back to HBHE students, from student mini-mentoring sessions, to semi-structured receptions, to the alumni's formal talks on how they got where they are now and what they wish they'd known along the way. 

What was their common message to HBHE students?

1. Don't be discouraged by a winding path to your career goals. 

2. 

   Dr. Jesus Ramirez-Valles

   HBHE faculty mentorship can be pivotal- keep those connections.

3. Our HBHE training is invaluable in non-profit, academic, and foundation work.

Students were inspired by this unique professional development opportunity and said the event gave them a sense of excitement and possibility to see such poignant examples of the many paths a successful HBHE career can take. They especially appreciated the practical advice each of the alumni offered.
