Is Your College’s
Digital Door Open Wide Enough?

Ponder this… 1. If students, alumni, community people are visiting community pages on Facebook but your college does not have a Facebook page, what does that say about your institution?
2. If potential students can go to websites and social media of other colleges and see dialogue about current events and curriculum but not at your college, what does that say about your institution?
3. If students and prospective students view videos, share tweets, posts and blogs but not from your college, what does that say about your institution?

What’s stopping your institution from opening the digital door wider?
Budget issues?
Privacy concerns?
Limited know-how?
Little interest?
