In recent years many student affairs professionals have adopted social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. in educationally relevant ways. Now that you’re utilizing social media tools, what can you do with them? Do you need a strategy? How can you create buy in from your supervisor and colleagues? Can you determine the success of social media?

In this webinar, participants will learn factors to consider when developing a social media strategy and discuss the various tones among personal, professional, and University accounts. Although a “best practice” may not exist, tips, real examples, and resources will be shared as means to help engage an audience. Finally, opportunities to measure and successfully integrate social media tools into your professional life will be discussed.

    One of the best, proven and most popular ways to engage students online
    is by using moderated group chat (AKA ‘real-time social networking).

    Check out http://university-chats.com for more information and features.

    Students love chat.
    And now faculty, staff and parents have
    caught on to the convenience, efficiency and
    usefulness of online moderated group chat.
    Personally connect with large groups in the medium they
    know and prefer.
    Focus on topics that matter most to students and their parents such as
    admissions, financial aid, testing requirements, and more.

    Better yield. Save time and money while you familiarize prospective students with
    your school. Admissions-Chat helps you to motivate very large groups of
    them to apply and enroll.
