-Responding to students has had an overwhelming amount of positive feedback.
-Students love to see the university engaging with their students—even if it is for something silly
Instagram: we were at that
It was at 230 for a full year, and since I have been here it has risen over 700 new followers
We are #7 for likes
However we are getting more engagement from the students than the other universities.
We are #11 overall
-these are good examples of where we were, but from there everyone started making a social media accounts. We had regulations on so much other things that are made public by the university, but not on social media.
-people were making social media accounts of Millersville popping up everywhere
Distributed
this is where we are now.
Centralized
-This is not where we want to go.
-This model does not allow for creativity and authentic content to be produced from the actual department running it
-it will create a distanced off-putting aspect to us
Coordinated
-allows for creative and authentic control but within guidelines
-”organized chaos”
We want our audience to not have to look hard to find us. (3 clicks rule)
Creating a central hub will be the best way for our community to find out what is happening on campus.
~we link all our the main social media sites to this hub to create easy access of information.
~we also be a source of information for anyone wanting to get in the field of social media or just wanting to make their SM site better.
Other actions that can be taken,
-- giving credit where credit is due
Not everything goes in one place
--if you find something that would go good on another site, offer it as a possible post for them.
Example
1. we find link/post that pertains to health
2. we give it to peer health educators to post
3. they link it to our rape/assault initiative
4. we get more likes, and better response on the initiative
5. we share their post that we originally gave them
6. they get more likes
7. WIN-WIN
