Social Media
Working across a variety of social media channels, the Office of Communications helps to define and strengthen the University's image. We highlight the work being done in UNE's various academic programs, showcase UNE's partnerships with various community organizations, celebrate the accomplishments of 51Æ·²èstudents and faculty, laud the rich life beyond the classroom that 51Æ·²èstudents enjoy, and share news of upcoming events and activities.
While much of the work the Office of Communications does to promote UNE's brand on social media occurs at the institutional level, we recognize that you may wish to communicate on a departmental or program-specific social media channel with your constituents. To facilitate this, we offer consulting services to help you get started, develop content, and build an audience. Prior to setting up 51Æ·²èsocial media accounts, please get in touch with our Social Media Strategist to discuss UNE’s social media policy and best practices.
