The UCIFuture.com campaign Web site is enjoying growing community and campus interest. The site is one of the main ways we keep the university’s friends involved in the life of the campus and build support for the comprehensive campaign.

Since the site went “live” at the beginning of October, nearly 21,000 sessions have been recorded on the site. A session is a series of “hits” on our site over a period of time by one visitor. During those 21,000 visits to the site people have viewed 72,595 pages.  On average 209 different people visit the site each day, staying on the site on average of five minutes.

The site features videos and stories about our donors and the meaningfulness of their involvement with the university.  There are multimedia presentations showcasing the campus and valuable information about planned giving and other novel ways to support UC Irvine.

The largest single group of people using the site is our own UC Irvine family, with 2,275 faculty, staff and students recording visits over the last several weeks.  Interestingly, the next largest group is from Google, with 2,047 people coming to our site as the result of a Google search.

A button pointing to the campaign site is now included on the uci.edu homepage, and in several media outlets and community organizations in our region.

The most popular single page on the site is our collection of donor stories tracing the impact that individuals and families are having at UC Irvine.  You can view that page at www. ucifuture.com/news-and-donor-stories.html.

You can help promote the campaign site by including the URL www.UCIFuture.com  in your email signature line.  You may also download a campaign button from the multimedia page on the site.

We update the site everyday to keep content fresh and interesting.  If you have donors you would like to see recognized on the site, or any other suggestions, please contact Mark Aydelotte
