Social media has provided IT professionals with a powerful tool to connect with students on a large scale. Unlike traditional methods of communication, such as email or phone calls, social media platforms offer a more dynamic and interactive way to engage with students.

One of the key advantages of social media is its ability to reach many students in a short period of time. With a large number of students on platforms like Twitter and Instagram, IT professionals can easily connect with a vast number of students by simply posting updates, news, or announcements.

In addition to its reach, social media provides IT professionals with various ways to engage with students. For example, by using interactive posts and giveaways, IT professionals can gather student feedback and gain valuable insights into their needs and preferences. Social media also allows IT professionals to share relevant content and resources, such as blog posts, videos, and infographics, which can help students stay engaged.

Furthermore, social media provides a platform for IT professionals to build relationships with students beyond the classroom. By creating a personal brand and sharing their expertise, IT professionals can establish themselves as thought leaders and mentors, which can help build trust and credibility with students. Additionally, social media allows IT professionals to connect with students in a more informal and conversational manner, which can help foster a sense of community and promote collaboration.

Chapman University Information Systems & Technology (IS&T) uses social media to reach out to students by promoting technology-related content. This helps create a sense of community and engagement among students while providing valuable information.

Engaging with students is another way IS&T uses social media. Social media platforms provide an opportunity to engage with students directly by answering questions, providing support, and offering advice on various IT-related topics. This not only helps to build relationships with students but can also help to increase student engagement with the IS&T team.

Finally, IS&T utilizes social media to create awareness and promote various software and services. We share technology news, updates, and successes on social media, helping to increase the visibility of IS&T.

Social media has become an integral part of how IS&T connects with students. As social media platforms continue to evolve, Chapman University IS&T will likely continue to find new and innovative ways to use social media to engage with students and promote our software and services.
