Stow Students lead the way with website

A Co-operative outlook by students and staff at one of Glasgow’s most famous colleges has been put into practice in the development of their new website.
Students at Stow College recently worked with college staff and designers to have the final say in how the college’s groundbreaking new website would look.
Nine students from various courses mucked-in to help the marketing team select, design and help with some of the website’s student-friendly and innovative features.
The new site shows video testimonials of students, showcases students’ work and offers the option to play music tracks from the college’s well-established record labels like Electric Honey Records.
The website’s community section allows current and prospective students to contact each other online and join dedicated college forums, as well as access various social media networking sites.
Hilary Ramsay, Digital Marketing Officer at Stow College, said: “We wanted a fresh and stimulating website that would become an invaluable and comprehensive resource for students, staff and the general public.
“Students were fundamentally involved from the first stage of the process and actually led the decision on which design company to appoint to the project.”
Dr Robert McGrory, Principal of Stow College was delighted with the outcome.
He said: “Last year Stow College celebrated its 75th anniversary, and this year we are looking forward to our future as the leading provider of quality further education in Glasgow.”
