Overview

Social media is a cost-effective way to reach and engage prospective international students. Yet, many offices refrain from using social media because they don’t know what platforms their prospective students are using and what posts will resonate with that audience.

Join us for a webcast that will help get your institution’s social media efforts for international student recruitment off the ground. This program will address questions such as:

  • Based on my international recruitment goals, where should I be posting?
  • What should I post, and how frequently should I be posting?
  • How can I plan ahead to maximize my limited time and resources?

Who should attend?

International admissions professionals whose social media efforts are currently very limited, but who want to learn more about how to effectively use core social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to further their international student recruitment efforts, will benefit from this webcast.
