Advice
Baruch is somewhat connected via new media, whether it be Facebook or Instagram pages they have created, but I would still have some advice to give them. First of all, as someone who has followed and decided to unfollow almost every form of Baruch new media, keep it entertaining. The rare posts put up by any of the offices and even of different classes on Facebook really did not pull me in to their pages. I could see that they weren't obtaining too many likes and were not getting their message across. Baruch's social media should revolve around getting information to the students which will definitely not be obtained via email or their website. This is because young students don't care about a weekly newsletter provided by Baruch. If they focused more on giving out quick information that could be useful to their students then more students would actually follow and remain involved with them. Furthermore, through likes and shares, more students would actually see these posts. So if they just focus more on quick and easy information that students will actually want they will make good use of new media.

Hi Ely,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely that Baruch isn't currently using social media to their advantage. If they take your advice, I think we will definitely see an improvement in engagement among Baruch's posts. Great job!
Ely, I actually did the same thing as you. I followed and unfollowed many of Baruch's media sites because I did not find them very useful. I agree that they could be doing a lot more to involve students.
ReplyDeleteYour point about Baruch students not wanting to read a weekly pamphlet is thought provoking and overall true. Baruch needs to revolutionize the ways they try to communicate with us and old media is not the way to go. Maybe a snapchat account?
