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 :)

On Campus Involvement - Off Site!

Did you ever think of on campus involvement being "off campus." When people think of campus involvement they automatically think that it all takes place within buildings of 2500 North River Rd. Recently, I attended a conference for marketing and sales off campus in Boston, MA. This was still a way of being involved with an on campus event; off site. I attended the Inbound Marketing Conference through the Career Development Center. I not only participated in the conference but since I was one of the five that got chosen from SNHU to attend, it was a form of campus involvement. When trying to join clubs and organizations make sure you have an open mind. There is a club for everyone and if you can't find your top choice, not a problem. Find five friends and make a club yourself, boy that would look great on a resume! This conference was a very prestigious and informational event. I am so honored to have been chosen as a Junior, but also learned so much about my field of study. Make sure that you are getting involved in your classes and getting to know your professors and different offices on campus. When it comes to references, people within your major are great references. If you are very concentrated on schoolwork and homework, think about joining a club or organization within your major or relative to your major. Many opportunities may arise for off famous conferences, or other professional development opportunities. Are you a sport Management, sales, fashion merchandising, creative writing major etc. ? We have a club for you; and we do many activities geared toward your major to get you more experiences! Embrace what SNHU has to offer and make the best of it; SNHU has a lot to offer their students!

Welcome To My Involvement Blog

Welcome one and all to my new SNHU Student Involvement Blog! I am so excited to share my thoughts, ideas and events on campus with you. With this blog, you will learn more about SNHU Student Involvement on campus and how it betters the overall college experience! As you can probably tell, I am very involved on campus and I have a passion for student involvement. I really believe that my college experience has been severely enhanced and I have met some lifelong amazing people that I wouldn't have otherwise knew. Involvement is not just attending club meetings, rather going to the club and making a committment to stay involved and engaged with service projects or events that go on! My name is Kelsey Carnell. I am a junior on campus. My major is Marketing with two minors in social media marketing and fashion merchandising. I LOVE social media and am very active on the sites. I love my campus and everything it has to offer. Please feel free to reach out to me with any involvement questions you have. I hope you enjoy my blog!
