Introduction to The Hub

The Hub or Hubba-U.com

What is the Hub?

The Hub is an entertainment-based online magazine catering to the TCU community. Set to launch in August of 2009, its goal is to be the trendsetting publication for the student body focusing on interests and fads including, but not limited to: Fashion, Business, Campus Gossip, Featured Videos, New Music, On and Off Campus Events

By covering the above topics, The Hub will strive to embody all that is TCU culture drawing a devoted following through continuous updates and relevance.

Vision

To create a liberal social hub for TCU students. Functioning as a satirical, entertainment-based alternative to the Skiff, this website will focus on the trends and interests specific to the TCU demographic.

Goal

To provide a central location for TCU culture, encouraging community through entertainment. To give everyone involved an unbelievable experience and a tangible asset to showcase to future employers. To live the dream by creating memories through hard work and time well spent.

Full Official Launch: August 15^th (start of school next year)

Goals:

1) Make it interactive. Encourage student submission of articles, videos, music etc.

2) Identify / Report / Set trends.

3) Provide Edu-tainment.

4) Promote the best kept secrets on campus. The things that deserve recognition, the people that are doing big things, and the people whose creativity never gets the visibility it deserves.

5) Start something that we can all be proud of. Something to help us learn and grow, but more so something that will bring fond memories for years to come as our team became something much more than a website.

Overall:

I want this to be a somewhat controversial, intriguing publication that gets people talking. I would like to satirize yet glorify TCU culture, and act as the central hub for all the gossip-savvy students.

It will not be trashy. It will be well-written, well-organized, which will differentiate it from juicycampus.com or frattinghard.com. We will encourage funny content, but not celebrate ignorance and irresponsible actions.
