MMU Student Life Welcome Event

Virtual Events.

We were really honoured to be able to work with the team at MMU to create an event to welcome the 2020/21 students to our amazing city.

As the students were to be robbed of real life freshers events and all the other great stuff that comes with the first few weeks of uni, the university wanted to create an experience that engaged and informed the students about the different services available across the school for them.

They tasked us with creating a series of webinars that would bring together the vast array of content that they had created in an engaging format.

We produced the event using Webinar Jam and recruited Manchester babe and TV and radio presenter, Hattie Pearson, to host and bring together the content together in true Mancunian style.

The 90 minute shows combined live content, quizzes and pre-recorded video content to educate students about Manchester, the university's student services and more. This was a fantastic way for the uni to deliver a lot of information in an engaging format and it proved popular with students and staff alike.

Thousands of students attended the six webinars where they were introduced to departments, services and support staff. Vital conversations around living in the city, getting a job and finding support with any issues began at these events helping the new freshers to settle in in unsettling times.
