Is social media your main student engagement or alumni relations tool?

Suppose you are responsible for student engagement or alumni relations. Chances are that you’ve placed your bet on social media as the primary way to drive engagement—Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Tiktok, the usual suspects. When you post on these platforms, you expect that all of your audience will see and engage with your post. Unfortunately, the reality is that these social media channels are in the advertising business. So unless you pay to advertise, promote, sponsor, boost (or however else it might be called), only a tiny portion of your total audience will see your posts. Not to mention, social media can be very noisy, which might cause your posts to fall through the cracks and go unseen. Nevertheless, social media should continue to play a role in your engagement ecosystem—just in a different way.
