Social Media Guidelines
The following material consists of basic suggested guidelines for administrative and academic units that are considering or actively participating in social media. Guidelines and "policies" are an active topic of discussion and a work-in-progress at the university with a bottom-up & top-down approach | (View Slides: Social Media - How could we create a common set of guidelines?).
The most recent draft of the common guidelines are posted on the Cardinals website. Please send any feedback to mailto:brand.manager@ubc.ca
To learn more, attend a Social Media Meetup.
