Advice

One piece of advice I would suggest by using new media is to utilize it in order to collaborate both students and faculty members. Blogs and wikis can be used to update everyone on events that are happening that day or week. If blogs and wikis are set up where you have to interact with other people’s work, it’s a push to help you get to know each other. There are many times when people just go to class and literally don’t talk to anyone, but if you see the person that has been commenting on your work that could then start an in-person conversation. Another way to use new media is to make some kind of account for every club, team, and group on campus, whether it is an Instagram account, Facebook, Twitter, etc. This way the students and faculty can follow the pages and get updates about all the information these groups have to offer. But is not just for the people that attend the school it can also be useful to the people who are looking into attending or working there, it’s a useful tool to attract new people.
