Campu Connect Community Application for Community Support Program

Introduction
We are very thrilled to make our application post for the community Support Program hosted by the steemit team, Campus connect was created 3 months ago and we have been working hard as a community to deliver value to the steemit community. We hope our application for this program receives positive feedback. Let's talk more about campus connect and what our community stands for-

Community Purpose

Campus Connect is designed as a community for the international student community. We believe that we can connect all college students around the whole world under a single platform here on the steemit blockchain. We will be sharing ideas, knowledge, and creativity, culture, and educational knowledge from around the globe.

Campus Connect is designed to interact with different students from universities around the world, campus connect will become home to thousands of students worldwide who are looking to interact and socialize with students from other parts of the world. They can share and post almost anything on campus as long as their content will appeal to and promote the steemit blockchain.

We also want to penetrate universities all over the world via steemit social feature a tool to do that. We want to recruit serious-minded steemian from all over the world, this step will eventually serve as a means to introduce steemit to different universities worldwide. We aim to educate and support each member of campus connect in any way we can. Leveraging the numbers and activity of students worldwide, we can create a very powerful community for students.

How Unique is Campus Connect
Campus Connect is one of a kind community and actually the first of its kind to be created ever on the steemit blockchain. We are very different in our approach and aim to introduce college students to the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

Community Team

Campus connect is lead by a Team of energic and hardworking young people with a clear vision and sheer will for success.

@davosimple	Mod

Members of the Team are fluent English speakers and of Nigerian Nationals, they also speak native dialects of their region. Currently, all Team members are working hard to care for the needs of the community without a definite reward or pay rather than on weekly bonuses. We will be introducing formal pay for the Team members in subsequent months to come, however till then the team is mainly working without any formal reward.

Members of the Team can make posts and vote posts with the curation account, the keys are shared and in possession of each moderator of campus connect Team.

Community Curation Account

Campus Connect has a dedicated curation account @campusconnectng, this account is used to support and make community announcements. Campus connect started off with 1,7800 steem power and as of the time of writing, we have 4,826 effective steempower. Campus connect also has an active curation trail, this way we are able to pool our rewards together to deliver a better voting value to our members.

One of the ways we are dedicated to growing our sp is by powering up every post reward. We are dedicated to upgrading our sp, so we do not think twice before powering up our steem. We also regularly join #SPUD4STEEM which is a great opportunity to power up and receive huge delegations.

We have also maintained a marketing strategy, calling on investors who wish to purchase steempower, we have made contacts with a few clients and they are willing to invest and help us grow our sp.

Each moderator has the keys and permission to vote on posts made in campus connect, this step has allowed us to manage the posts made in campus connect, and as such we are able to provide support to practically every post that is made in campus connect(95%)

Campus connect voting CSI

Plagiarism & Abuse

Plagiarism is not tolerated in campus connect and we take a firm stand it. The moderators carefully scan every post for plagiarism before voting and with this step, we have been able to maintain a plagiarism-free community. On a few occasions, we have seen plagiarized posts and we firmly warn such members.

Taking such a firm stand against plagiarism has helped us to inculcate to our members the dignity in making original posts and the disrespect of making plagiarized posts.

Engagement & Commenting

we try our best to comment on almost every post that is made on campus connect, we use the community account to comment on almost every community member's post. We are able to comment on at least 70% of the posts that are made on campus connect.

Also in order to encourage commenting and engagement between community members, we have a community post-promotion channel where community members are able to find and interact with the post of other members.

Plans & Updates

Campus connect engages community members by various means like contests and through campus games project, so we provide updates at least 2-3 times per week using the official campus connect curation account.

We have a clear and practical plan for campus connect, we want to achieve our aims and we will make this possible by any means necessary.

Campus Connect Roadmap

Promotion

We promote campus connect via many means both physical and online, for instance, in the past we held online sessions and online adverts about campus connect. We have designed T-shirts and different flyers, these promotion materials help us to market our community and draw new people and investors to our community. We also share community posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

We also adopted Promotional Teams which will help us spread and recruit new and serious people, for instance, we had inaugurated Team Mouau which is the first of this program.

Team Mouau

Anything Else

We want to build a sustainable community that will be a homeland for students and young people all over the world. Campus connect will be a homeland for various social and fun activities, we will leverage the creativity and brilliance of our community members to make campus connect one of the best and most inclusive community on steemit.

In order to achieve this, we launched a project called Campus Games(the first championship game on the steemit blockchain), this game is designed to get students and our community members involved in brainstorming and importantly fun activities. Developing fun and cool projects is one way we can keep community members wanting more and enhance their commitment to the community while doing what they love to do best.

Back to the Campus games, this project is the first of its kind and we plan to make this project one of the best, perhaps just like crypto academy. We believe this project will grab the attention of steemians even in other communities, grab the interest of people off-chain, offering people off steemit and in other platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram an opportunity to join our games on steemit which is fun and educative, this will surely draw interested and talented writer and investors running to steemit.

We have held season 1 of this championship and we thank our sponsors for their support, we thank @stephenkendal and @whitestallion especially for their support and the efforts they made to make this a success.

Season 2 of this championship will be live again in a matter of weeks and we intend to make significant improvements in terms of the quality of posts, the rules, intensive marketing before kick-off, projects like this with the perfect support will become one of the best and will drive many users who want to enjoy the games and also stand a chance to win a prize. We plan to make the atmosphere enriching and perfect for everyone joining the games.

Supporting our community and our projects via this provision will go a long way in helping us to develop our community thereby developing the entire steemit community, we are clear about our aims and visions and we will make it happen.

Conclusion

Campus Connect is a great community with a lot of potentials, cause we believe if we are able to appeal to young people around the world mostly students, soon steemit will be full of hungry investors who want to make their voice heard just like we see on other mainstream social platforms. Campus connect is just 3 months and we believe we can make a lot of progress with our projects most of which haven't debuted, with support from this program we will make our community one of the best on steemit.
