Social Media Awareness

Importance of Social Media in the Context of Career & College Planning

What kind of digital footprint are you leaving? Did you know...

40% of college admissions officers browse social media to learn more about students applying to their schools
Even if your profile is private but your friend tagged you in a post, that post can now be viewed by anyone...even your top choice college admissions office

How to make a positive imprint of yourself

Like and follow schools on Facebook, reposting posts or interacting with relevant posts by liking them
Follow schools on Twitter, retweeting posts or tweeting schools directly
Follow schools on Instagram, like their posts
Follow school on snapchat
Do a social media audit of yourself. Google your name and click through every link that shows up on the first 2-3 pages of the search results. Is there anything there that you would not want to share with a teacher or grandmother? Delete the post off the social media site, or ask your friend to delete it from theirs.
