Celebrating Student Achievement with Merit Social Media Tool  

Students at picnic table in masks Seton Hall University participates in a social media program that recognizes and showcases undergraduate student success by awarding virtual merit badges for accomplishments such as academic achievements, including university acceptance, dean's list and graduation. Partnering with Merit, an online service that helps colleges and universities celebrate and share students' accomplishments, this year's launch will include Fall Dean's List notifications.

The University's Department of Public Relations and Marketing under the Division of University Relations administers the University's Merit account. Each student can claim a Merit page, a verified professional profile that outlines accomplishments at Seton Hall — from research and academic awards to study abroad, volunteer work and co-curricular activities — and can be shared with prospective employers, graduate schools and others. To view the latest student achievement, visit Seton Hall’s Merit page.

Students don't need to do anything to maintain their Merit pages, but they'll have the ability to enhance them with photos, bios, other activities, study abroad, work-related experience and important milestones. Students may also choose not to participate. For details on how to personalize and add content to Merit pages, students can visit the student knowledge base at https://help.meritpages.com/.

Through Merit, updates are also pushed out to social networks, sent to students' high schools, hometown news outlets, and families. Hundreds of institutions participate in the Merit program.
