Social Media Policies

Social Media Accounts

In order to better connect with students, prospective students, and alumni, Davenport University is diving into the world of social media. Social media is defined as a new set of internet tools that allow for shared community experiences, both online and in person. Examples include Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. By using social media, we will have an online presence in the places our audience visits most.

For your reference, here is the list of all the Communications-sanctioned social media accounts. All of these sites are public and you do not have to have an account yourself to see them. If you or your department are interested in having a social media account to better connect with students, please contact the Communications Manager, Rick Jensen. Email him at rick.jensen@davenport.edu [1] or call extension x1172.
