Your institution uses Merit to share the successes of your students with their families, friends, local media, high schools and local government officials. While another person or department on campus typically writes these student achievements, they could use your help brainstorming additional student success stories.
Your Merit admin will set up your institution's contribution form and either provide you with a link to it or send you a welcome email with a link:
Visiting the link in this email will take you to a form where you can submit an achievement to your team.
Add Students
Upon visiting the contribution form, Merit will prompt you to add students to your story. Use the search box to enter the names of students and add them to your list:
Set Up Your Story
After adding your students, you will want to choose a Topic and give your story a Headline and Description. You can upload a Photo or Logo here too:
Pro Tip: This story could turn into a press release, so include multiple paragraphs in your Description and add all of the information that your Merit admin may need to tell this story.
Add Your Contact Information
Your story is almost ready. The final step is to add your contact information in case your Merit admin has questions. Here you can also add a brief note to the person who will review the story:
Note: If you followed the private link in your email to this form, then you won't need to worry about filling out your contact information each time.
Click Submit when your achievement is ready and the appropriate contact at your school will get notified about your submission by email. You will see a confirmation screen when your story has been submitted.
