Student-Inspired "Humans of WP" Debuts on Social Media

Project designed to celebrate the faces and stories of the William Paterson University community

Humans of WP, a student driven project is dedicated to celebrating the faces and stories of the William Paterson University community. The project debuted across social media platforms this month and is rapidly gaining momentum, encouraging William Paterson University pride and diversity among its growing audience.

Partnering with the Marketing and Public Relations department, students Jaclyn Antonacci, ’14, Kim Casamento, ’13 and photographer, Catalina Fragoso, ‘15 utilize Humans of WP as a way to engage with all of the William Paterson University community to include students, faculty, staff, alumni and families. All photos are taken on campus and the stories gathered allow viewers to learn more about their own community and connect to others - all sharing the common thread of William Paterson University.

Humans of WP was inspired by the popular Humans of New York photography project. The project is hosted on Tumblr, but can be accessed across University social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. See project here: http://humansofwp.tumblr.com
