Spiders

spiders was set up to give back to the syracuse university community. we created a fun learning environment by utilizing the talents of su students, in hopes that they would learn new skills, apply those skills, and contribute to our creative projects. spiders is made up of a group of students who report to the online platforms team within su’s office of marketing and communications. working at spiders provides students with opportunities to expand their education outside of coursework. as students accomplish projects that further the work of the university, they learn how to meet professional standards in a meaningful way. additionally, students report to experienced full-time staff members who encourage them to learn and achieve. we currently have between 20-30 spiders who do web development, graphic design, accessibility website review and reporting, content publishing, and web app development. the spiders model has proven to be enormously successful since its formation in 2010. spi
