New NIC e-tour boasts beautiful campus for future students

For North Idaho College’s prospective students who are unable to visit the campus in person, the Communications and Community Relations departments have created a virtual tour.

“What we did is we put together still photos of buildings, places on campus students are gonna go.” Mindy Patterson, Executive Assistant for Community and Governmental Relations explains.

The photos were taken by Patterson as well as Chris Pfeiffer, a web designer in Communications and Marketing.

Videos for the main buildings that students will be visiting have been created and included in the tour. Some of them include Lee-Kildow, the SUB, and the dorms.

Former student Duncan Menzies hosts the videos, and they were done by an independent company. Said photos and videos were taken in fall of 2013 and Spring of 2014 because of the good weather.

For each picture, a caption is given to describe what the buildings contain and what they have to offer to prospective students.

Before the online version, there was a piece of paper that was known as the ‘walking tour’. When a student came to campus to visit, they would receive this paper (or have it mailed to them) and it would act as a guide to the school.
