Education Chat: Social Media in Higher Education

About This Episode

Season 2. Episode 11.

Social media usage is now the standard for higher education institutions. From student relations to recruitment to fundraising to crisis management, it’s a powerful communications tool. As Gen- Z goes to college, establishing a presence on social media is more important than ever.  

This week Alyssa and Alysha sat down with Bianca and Marcos, two members of Lets Go To College – A student-led virtual community and online hub that supports underrepresented students through college completion, early adulthood, and career planning.

 In this brand-new episode, we dive into the resources that they provide, and the advantages of using social media to support college students. To hear more, tune in to this week’s episode of Education Chat.
