GradUP Six-Word Story
Think Tank helped research and define the tagline for LSC-University Park's GradUP, an initiative which aims to increase student graduation by 300% in three years. The intention was to create a concise statement that demonstrated the collaborative approach toward student success and completion. The symmetrical style of the student beginning the commitment, followed by our support, and then closing with the graduation and students achieving their goals.
The result is a clear and simple six-word story: You commit. We commit. You graduate.
Community Leader & Organizational Recognition
Think Tank led the charge of creating and establishing a process to recognize community leaders and organizations who have had a measurable impact on the Lone Star College-University Park community.
Volunteerism
The goal of this initiative was to implement a scalable volunteer management program to track volunteer hours of employees and students across LSC-University Park, accurately determine return on investment, and provide opportunities to increase social impact in the community.
