Recommendations

1. Design a new website exclusively for the Indy Parks + Institute for Engaged Learning program 

  • Build upon preexisting university course-searching tools to develop a new database specifically for Indy Parks classes

  • Include a database in the website using keywords to “match” students to faculty based on the information put in the profiles

  • Create “multimedia” that engages students and places an emphasis on what is important to them

2. Implement an ambassador/mentor program to enhance stakeholder engagement 

  • Develop an ambassador/mentor model informed by past successes and surveys conducted with strategic population selection 

  • Employ a systematic approach to program conception and management (ie. Using student ambassadors to design and update the program)

  • Utilize the ambassador program as a way to encourage “peer-to-peer” marketing strategies 

​

​

3. Create an effective marketing campaign geared towards individual stakeholder populations 

  • Use marketing strategies geared toward stakeholders based on our local study 

​

​

4. Employ flexibility and personalization in the program 

  • Allow students to select which park to work with

  • Give students the opportunity to have agency over the environment they learn in (ie. Hybrid-learning, distance learning, etc.)

​

​

​

​

​

5. Invest in faculty incentives to participate in the Indy Parks + Institute for Engaged Learning program

  • Offer "perks" for faculty partaking in the program (ie. Course release, stipend, raise)
