DRAKE UNIVERSITY
Aaron Jaco, digital media specialist with the Office of Marketing and Communications at Drake University, described Drake University’s approach as focusing on building relationships and community as a way to further the school’s reputation and image.

Since the social leaders know what prospective students might be most interested in on social, they’re better equipped to deliver on those needs. “The key is to meet your audience where they are and where they are receptive to your message,” Jaco said. “In every case, the message should be something that sparks positive affinity and starts a dialogue among your audience, their peers, and your brand.”

Loyola has tailored its approach to content on the available social media channels. “In general, we use Twitter for conversations, responding to students’ concerns, sharing live events, retweeting engaging and positive content from the Loyola community, and more”
![Page 24: Universities Using Social Media](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032503/55be68a6bb61eb3e388b45f0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“We use Facebook for longer messages including, but not limited to, promoting events on campus, sharing student profiles, and posting professional videos.”
![Page 25: Universities Using Social Media](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032503/55be68a6bb61eb3e388b45f0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The school has also distinguished between the available photo-sharing networks, with Instagram delivering “very visual, quick messages with photos and video” while the team reserves YouTube and Flickr for professionally produced visual content.

“We use all of our traditional communications and social media channels to cross promote, but many times it is through word of mouth and other organic online sharing that people find our social media accounts”
![Page 27: Universities Using Social Media](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032503/55be68a6bb61eb3e388b45f0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Sharing what makes you unique, building community around a shared experience or interest, and focusing on conversations are strategies that brands in any sector can employ successfully.
While the story changes to reflect the specific university, the importance of telling the story in the first place stays the same.

THE COLLEGE OF SAINT ROSE
![Page 31: Universities Using Social Media](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032503/55be68a6bb61eb3e388b45f0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
“One of the basic ways we use social media is to share what’s happening on campus right now – sharing different photos, and event information can help showcase to incoming students what’s going on at The College of Saint Rose and what makes our campus different from others, using social media we relay that you’re not just a face in the crowd.”
![Page 32: Universities Using Social Media](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032503/55be68a6bb61eb3e388b45f0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
“With parents it’s been really helpful because they love seeing some of the more engaging activities that we’ve been doing. Parents love seeing what we’re doing outside of the academic arena that makes Saint Rose stand out.”

Sharing stories on a blog not only drives traffic to a school’s website but also offers a huge SEO value to the alumni. UMASS Amherst encourages alumni to share their stories on their website to just that – increase their SEO rankings. “I can boost their signal and give them good SEO, so next time an employer Googles them they’re going to be much more present.”

Social media now plays an important role in helping colleges stay connected with alumni and also increasing the value of their education by expanding their school’s recognition.
