Media For Thought• When do we listen and when do we interact?• Is it always best to have a presence on social media?• How does your new media communication plan weave into
your overall operation? • When is it appropriate to use these tools to gather secure
information (contracts for living, roommate matches, etc.)?• How will you organize staffing and oversight for your social
media campaign?• How will your strategy plan target specific populations?• When do we act on questionable or declarative comments
observed on social media platforms?• What institutional social media guidelines are you
following?
