Each morning we wake up, being reminded that we are living in historic times. We are informed daily about the hardships that Coronavirus cases are causing. Often, we hear about the number of Coronavirus cases, deaths related to the virus, and how it negatively is impacting our economy. One of the factors that make this virus more challenging is the age of social media that we as a society are living in today. Trying to navigate the ever-changing messages that are shared on multiple platforms can be more than one person can handle. We are facing some unique times during this pandemic. However, we must stay strong, positive, and resilient during this moment in time.
In support of this effort to stay strong, the Student Affairs Marketing and Communications team have developed #SacStateRises. This hashtag is more than just three words put together; it is a way of life for the Hornet Family. The purpose for #SacStateRises is to show unity throughout the campus, and how together, we rise as a team to serve our current and future students.
Here are a few examples of the meaning behind the three words, Sac State Rises: we care for each other; we find new ways to reach out to one another to say, “hello”; we create innovative ways to reach our students to let them know we care and are here to support them no matter what; and we always rise to the occasion. Those concepts are imprinted on us when we become part of the Hornet Family. Every person that works for Sacramento State makes an impact on our thriving student population.
By introducing this hashtag, we stand in solidarity together as a university.
As we continue to move forward virtually and/or in-person, we ask that you utilize the #SacStateRises. No matter if you are emailing students or posting information on social media, let us show the community how the Hornet family rises above the moment.
We hope you enjoy the #SacStateRises video tribute. If you would like to share this on your social platforms, please reach out to sa-communications@csus.edu for the proper link.
