About the ASA Media
ASA Media is the official communication and outreach platform of the Augustana Student Association, designed to keep the campus community informed, engaged, and inspired. With a strong presence on YouTube, Instagram, and a newly launched website, ASA Media serves as a dynamic hub for sharing updates, celebrating student achievements, and showcasing the vibrant campus life at Augustana.
The platform runs both recurring and seasonal programs, offering a mix of informative and engaging content that reflects the diverse interests of the student body. From highlights of campus events and student spotlights to updates on ASA initiatives and behind-the-scenes glimpses into student government, ASA Media ensures that the entire community stays connected and well-informed.
Spearheaded by the Technical Director, ASA Media operates as a collaborative and creative team, leveraging cutting-edge tools and platforms to deliver high-quality content. The Technical Director oversees the production and management of multimedia content, ensuring that all communications are impactful, accessible, and aligned with ASA's mission to serve the students.
History of the ASA Media
The ASA Media initiative informally began with small-scale production efforts led by the then Technical Director, Prince Adhikari (now Vice President). In Spring Semester of 2024, the initiative was officially named "ASA Media Revamp Initiative 2023," marking a significant expansion of ASA media productions across various program models on Instagram. This expansion introduced a more structured and diverse approach to content creation, allowing ASA Media to better engage with the student body.
In May 2024, Prince Adhikari, as the Technical Director, announced the "ASA Media Standardization Initiative 2024," a formal campaign aimed at standardizing ASA Media’s content production and distribution processes. This initiative focused on establishing clear guidelines for content creation, ensuring consistency, quality, and increased reach across platforms. The campaign was successfully passed on to the incoming administration and the new Technical Director, Blen Lemma, who continued to build on the foundation laid by Adhikari, further enhancing the impact and presence of ASA Media within the Augustana community.
