How innovative presidents use social media

A new report about how college presidents in the US interact with their students highlights their innovative use of social media. In addition to listing some of the more creative methods of outreach—such as an online portal to collect student complaints, a request form for informal chats, and a web page dedicated to student engagement—the report provides a list of recommendations for presidents looking to boost their digital presence. The report’s author said that he would like to see more formal research on whether presidential engagement affects student outcomes. Campus Technology
