I have been a Hive promoter for years now, but have never onboarded an institution until the project kicked off today. I got the final approval to pitch Hive at this prestigious institution and the result today was massive.
I started from the public Administration department and I was able to onboard 13 students. They were all able to create their accounts through keychain and checked in through the check in frontend. They also installed Ecency app and are enjoying Waves micro-blogging as they learn about Hive. Here are their first posts:
I invite you all to engage with these new friends and make them feel at home. Below is the community who you could see their check-in introduction posts. You can see their faces in the video above.
Is Hive ready for 18,000 potential adopters?
Dr Ogbonna Onu Polytechnic is one of the largest in Aba city. The institution which is my Alma Mata is home to more than 18,000 students. The school has many departments and schools.
Today, we kicked off their adoption with these students from Public Administration department. It's one of the largest departments in the school. From next week, we will onboard more students and there is going to be a special presentation for lecturers and other academic staff.
Very soon, we are creating a program to feature hive to the entire institution. With the staff and students, we are looking at around 20,000 persons getting to know hive and possibly joining. I hope we are ready for it
The question on our lips Is whether Hive is ready for one of the largest institutional adoptions? While we started with the students, this adoption is going to cut across professional and career educators in the institution like professors, heads of departments and schools, Deans and lecturers, and many other professionals.
One great way to show your support is to engage with the new users as they join. You can check their content on waves and through the Hive growth hub community.
500 Hive Face caps - branding plans and moving forward
We are planning to give Hive a big presence in this institution starting with a branded face cap project. I will try to arrange a presentation day and we can distribute 500 face caps to the first onboarded students and users. That would truly be massive. Many organizations and business come to this institution to create awareness for their brands. I believe with such a give away, there would be so students and others talking about Hive.
There are a lot of things planned and we are taking it one at a time. We will need the support of everyone that wants institutional adoption of Hive.
Below are some of the pictures we took at the event.
