Social Media Guidelines

Social media have become a powerful tool for releasing information and engaging students, alumni, donors and other friends of the University. Taking full advantage of these opportunities can present challenges, since functions and usage patterns change rapidly.

The Office of University Communications has not proposed an all-encompassing policy for social media usage across campus, but these guidelines are intended to assist colleges, schools, departments and other campus entities as they move forward with a social media presence. Putting these guidelines into practice will help Union maintain its branding and present a consistent message.
