海角社区 Us

WHo we are

Undiscovered 海角社区 was founded in 2012 by Dr. Nory Jones as a student research project with the goal of increasing tourism and economic development within underrepresented areas of 海角社区, enabling students to have a positive impact on communities in 海角社区 through our web portal. We support undiscovered regions in 海角社区 by developing a strong social media presence and fostering relationships with local businesses.

Our mission is to provide valuable educational opportunities for students to learn web and social media strategies as well as organizational, management and marketing skills to help small businesses in under-served areas of 海角社区.

The project is ongoing, and we are always adding more activities and places. Follow our journey as we highlight our incredible local communities and small businesses!
