Social Media Involvement within the Industry

Student involvement is a very large part of student life on campus. Social media is one good way to get the students more involved and market for different clubs and organizations. Southern New Hampshire University does a great job at their promotions and professionalism within it’s advertising online. Social media within the student involvement industry is very easy in general. It can only help the industry and its promotions. Social media is used with different outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. These different platforms of social media are used very distinctly to get the students excited and interested in the events on campus. Not only does the university have it’s own involvement space, but the different clubs and organizations have their own pages to advertise and promote their events and clubs. This promotion helps with recruitment, retention and pulls in new members from the community or campus community. This outlet is a way for workers such as Gavin Telfer, of the Student Involvement office to advertise the events on campus. Another innovative outlet that SNHU uses it an online community called SNHUConnect, Tiffany Fifer and Cathy Doherty are great influencers to the online community. This platform is the one type of "social media" that is being used to advertise about involvement to the online community. SNHU has a very individual and innovative way of advertising and using social media and all of their resources to provide the best, most exciting and whole hearted education possible. Check out some of the club pages or the office page @ SNHU Student Involvement to learn more about events and how the university uses it's platforms to get the job done! Remember stay clean online and make the best out of your online experience and time at a college or SNHU! Happy Involvement :)
