The Return of the Shoutout Board, and it's better than ever!


Since we've all been largely absent from Carruthers Hall, the Culture Crew has tried its best to maintain a virtual presence of the UVAFinance Shoutout Board.  

As we've all learned, though, some things are harder to maintain in the virtual world.  

We're pleased to share with you that we've finally landed on the next best thing to our physical Shoutout Board.  Using the online resource Padlet, we've built a shoutout board that has all the features you loved about our physical board and then some. 

Check out our new board here:  https://padlet.com/uvafinanceevents/Bookmarks 

With a double click on the board or by tapping the pink plus sign in the bottom right corner, anyone can add a thank you, congrats, or recognition to the virtual Shoutout Board for all to see and enjoy -- plus, there are some great features for you to play with!

Some of the fun things you can do on our new Shoutout Board:
  • Upload your own pictures and files to illustrate achievements 
  • Use the built-in features to draw by hand 
  • Choose gifs or stock images and videos to illustrate your kudos
  • Choose the color of your kudos
  • Like and comment on others' shout outs
  • Use your own camera to record your own video messages to your shout-ee
We encourage you to create a quick account with Padlet when you leave your shout outs -- it's very easy and means that your posts appear under your name instead of anonymously (you can also just note in your shoutout who it's from if you prefer).

It's been a long time without our Shoutout Board, so I'm sure you have a long list of folks you've been meaning to recognize.  Head on over and have some fun showing your appreciation!
