Thanks for letting me hang out with you this morning! To recap, we examined WRA's five social media outlets: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Instagram/Webstagram. Talking about the "front" (prospective students) and "back" (alumni) ends of our constituencies and everyone in between, we considered the question of audience. I left you with the invitation to construct a Facebook post for WRA's page. Email me anytime with your suggestions!
Thanks!
