Longwood University was selected to host the sole vice-presidential debate of the 2016 election cycle on their campus. So, Longwood University needed a platform that could accomplish two things. 1) Effectively coordinate volunteers in real time for the day of the debate and corresponding events the week prior. 2) Keep attendees and students notified of on-campus events.
"We were so impressed with how everything worked out, and we had no hiccups. Everyone is excited to use the platform and thinks it's really cool." Paige Rollins, Assistant Director of Live Digital Events
Our Solution
With Trumpia, Longwood was able to engage volunteers with the most immediate communication channel, texting. They used it to confirm shifts, send important notifications, and inform attendees of live T.V. times. All in all, they were able to collect a little over 1000 volunteers, which is about a fifth of their total undergraduate population. Fill out the form to view the full case study!
