WPCampus: Where WordPress meets higher education

WPCampus is a non-profit organization and community of web professionals, educators, and people dedicated to the confluence of WordPress and accessibility in higher education. Our mission is to advance higher education by providing a support structure and wealth of knowledge and networking for anyone who uses or is interested in using WordPress in the world of higher education.

WPCampus includes all facets of higher education, whether you’re a faculty member, a content strategist, a designer, a social media manager, or a student. We welcome people who want to change the world, be involved, learn something new, and share their experiences with a community.

Much like online businesses or blogging, higher education is “enterprise on a budget”, a world of its own with unique challenges, content, stakeholders, and target audiences. Higher education is WordPress at the enterprise level, but we don’t worry much about which e-commerce plugin is best. Instead, we’re more concerned with managing large-scale networks of faculty blogs, abiding with FERPA and accessibility regulations, and implementing tools to promote research data.

If you are not already a member of the WPCampus community, we invite you to learn how to get involved. We have a thriving Slack channel and would love you to join the conversation.
