Advice

If I were hired by Baruch College to use new media on their campus, I would do a number of different things.

Let's start with social media---- the epitome of new media.

The school should have a Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram page to deliver important updates to the campus such as closings, delays, emergencies, or even fun events.

This is college, not high school, thus their is no Public Address system to announce important days and events. Thus, new media is essential and a great way to keep in contact nowadays.

I also believe that the college should join Snapchat. Here at Brooklyn College, I do not believe we are on Snapchat, however, i know other college and universities are. Pace University for example has a Snapchat that highlights almost live popular school events. I believe this could expand the participation from students as they see how much fun these events are.

Also, Facebook Live could be a great tool. If the college creates a Facebook page that students join, the president could have a Public Address using this tool while getting direct feedback. Professors can also host a class from Facebook LIVE. This way if a student is sick, he still won't miss class.

New Media has a plethora of options to interact nowadays that every college, including Baruch College, should take heed.
