Check us out… on Facebook

Have you ever wanted to know what life is really like on campus? Or had questions about admissions deadlines or SAT scores? If yes, you might have called Lynn’s admissions office, but there is another way to poke around Lynn University – and ask questions. The answer is Facebook.

The university currently maintains seven pages with exclusive video content, photo albums and event listings including: Alumni, Athletics, the School of Aeronautics, Study Abroad, the Career Center, Admissions and the main Lynn University page.

Today, Lynn’s main page is managed by a team in marketing consisting of a graduate student, two student photographers, a student videographer and both members of the Lynn PR office – who also happen to be Knight Writer bloggers – Jason and me. As of today, “Lynn University” has more than 1,500 fans, 21 videos posted and more than 60 photo albums that feature photos taken at recent campus events.

Although marketing had a hand in creating the other pages – individuals in each department have taken over securing and posting their own content, not to mention responding to wall posts.

The Admissions page, for example, recently added a “meet the counselors” note and a photo album of prospective High School students. Plus, rumor has it that Juan Camilo Tamayo, director of undergraduate admissions, will be featured in a video, requesting – and personally responding to – questions from prospective students right on the Admissions Facebook page. Fan them to find out what real prospective students want to know.
