For college students, attending the school of their dreams can be a profound and truly life-changing experience. For many students, remembering their college experience has been through viewing a yearbook. Through revisiting pictures, students and alumni can look back and reflect on their favorite classes, clubs, and sports teams.
While yearbooks remain an important and time-honored tradition, there has never been a digital representation of those essential college moments. Students often post pictures and messages on popular social media platforms, yet there has not been one created specifically for college students and alumni.
With FreezeCrowd, there is now a social platform that brings the experience of sharing a yearbook into the digital age. Founded by Eric Leebow, FreezeCrowd emulates a yearbook, as well as a dynamic social platform that allows students to create unique profiles, post and share photos, and “break the ice” with other students and alumni through chat and comment features. Students, staff, and alumni can share updates and content in a safe and secure environment. This ensures that the platform remains dedicated to its mission to connect people in their real world crowds.
“We wanted to create an authentic experience for students and alumni,” Leebow explains. “FreezeCrowd is the go to platform that caters specifically to this demographic.”
Because of their commitment to deliver a secure and personalized experience, FreezeCrowd requires a verified school email address when registering. From there, users can create their profile and search for friends and peers. FreezeCrowd carefully authenticates each account.
Users can interactively connect photos to specific interests on the FreezeCrowd platform, allowing students to connect with friends through college and alumni communities, join a conversation through categorized photos, and stay in touch with current and former classmates no matter where they’re located worldwide. FreezeCrowd keeps every profile private and safe from outside search engines, which limits access to only people on the platform.
As a living yearbook, FreezeCrowd combines the best aspects from tradition, which promotes viewing clubs, sports teams, and students at their finest moments. This gives students the power to interact directly within their school community, which leads to a more personalized user experience.
“Sometimes, you might attend a university and then you look through the yearbook and you are not there, because maybe you didn’t participate in certain sports or clubs,” Leebow says. “On FreezeCrowd, you have greater control over what gets posted and shared.”
Leebow is careful to note that FreezeCrowd is not intended to replace the classic yearbook. Instead, it is designed to augment it. In doing so, FreezeCrowd stands alone as an exciting platform that helps current and former students capture, preserve or “freeze with” the moments, and curate their college years as memorable experiences.
