WTAMU Student WellnessWe decided to base our study on a common interest for most WT

students.

Stakeholders: WTAMU students

Our study is about the wellness of the students here on campus.

The organization or company we are going through is the Student

Medical Center at WT.

Mission Statement:

“To provide high quality, confidential, holistic health care services to our diverse student population while minimizing costs. We are committed to maintaining the physical and mental well being of our student to enhance educational experience and overall academic success.”

New Media Tools Their biggest tool is the page they have on the

university website

www.wtamu.edu/student-support/medical-services.aspx

They list:

Pricing

Appointment Hours

Insurance Information

Contact Information

New Media Tools UsageWT Student Medical Services utilizes Facebook and Twitter to reach out

to students via social media. Their Facebook page is a little more

detailed than Twitter providing do’s and don’ts on the wall. It also shows

weekly availability and even some reviews from others that have

visited.

Reach the StudentsOn the campus website you can create a profile on the student

medical page where you can:

Survey your experience

Get access to your lab results

Schedule your appointments/First Aid classes

Student Health 101

Give helpful tips to stay/get healthy

Fitness / food guides

Medical questions

Conclusion

I think overall WT Student Medical Services is very on top of their social media platforms. They are very student (young adult) friendly as far as marketing and managing their posts. They are very in touch with new

media and know how to reach their audience. I do not think they need a whole lot of improvement in any of these areas.

Thank you!
