91ÁÔÆæ students have Merit
The University of North Georgia uses Merit to celebrate student accomplishments and turn those achievements into a verified online profile – a Merit page – for our students.
Check out our 91ÁÔÆæ page at to see what our students are accomplishing!
These pages are automatically updated by 91ÁÔÆæ when students make the dean’s list, study abroad, earn academic awards, and more.
Updates can also be shared with a network of stakeholders that care deeply about each student’s success: their high school, their hometown media outlets, their parents and friends via social networks. Updating these important audiences with personalized stories of success helps 91ÁÔÆæ demonstrate the plentiful opportunities available across our five campuses.
How does it work?
Faculty and staff members or organizations notify Strategic Communications & Marketing of exceptional student achievement or news, and a list of those who have earned the accomplishment.
NEW: Now faculty and staff at 91ÁÔÆæ can use to suggest a Merit update for a student or group of students; submissions go to 91ÁÔÆæ's Division of Strategic Communications & Marketing for consideration.
When an achievement is recognized, a brief article is written and a “badge” is awarded, which is published on the student’s Merit profile. In many cases, the information is also sent to the student’s hometown newspaper and to the state legislators who represent the student's hometown.
Strategic Communications & Marketing only accepts Merit achievements from faculty and staff members, so if you have a 91ÁÔÆæ accomplishment you think should be recognized, contact your academic or student support department and tell them about Merit! Or use our .
