Welcome to our new social media hub ... social.wvu.edu

Thursday, September 10, 2015

We have hundreds and hundreds of social media accounts across our University ... in fact, I've never really counted, it may be more than 1,000. The WVU social media footprint is gigantic.

That's why we've developed this website in an effort to better organize, strategize and centralize our social media efforts across the University. From students to faculty and staff, this website should be a perfect tool for you.

Throughout this website, there are bits and pieces that you may need from time to time to help improve your social media. Here are some highlights to check out ...

Our updated social directory, which includes official social media accounts - from Facebook ... to Twitter ... to Snapchat
Guidelines and tips for faculty, staff and students, whether you're using it professionally or personally
A submit section for those of you who'd like to submit a social post to be reposted on one of our University-wide accounts
A whole page devoted to ways to get involved with social media at WVU, including our @WVUstudents Twitter account, our Instatographer student group, etc.
Oh, and this blog! We'll post here periodically when we do something we want to brag about or we see something from across the University that deserves some recognition

Social media changes so rapidly, and we'll make sure this website stays up to date, too. So, take some time and sift through the content and let us know if we're missing something (social@mail.wvu.edu).
We hope this will allow you to better align your social media efforts with our University-wide accounts. Welcome to social.wvu.edu!
