I feel like this falls in line so well with what I was thinking when I wrote my own post today about focusing on content in social media reporting. I’m done worrying about what time of day to post or which type of media to attach to updates. Good content will do well! This is a great example of just that.

[...] A: Many colleges maintain a general Facebook page for current students and host a separate one for other audiences or purposes (Q&A page, Recruitment page, International page, etc.). While this tactic may work for large universities, it is not always efficient for smaller community colleges. There is definitely a need for answering all student questions rapidly.
