Colleges without a Facebook presence are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Now, when you type in the name of a university on Facebook, dozens of pages will pop up, some official and some not. In a recent article in the Baltimore Sun, author Childs Walker writes that “most Maryland colleges maintain some presence on Facebook and Twitter.” Beyond that, several schools are now incorporating their own social networking sites – including UMBC who is “about to unveil a new social networking site for students that will incorporate their Facebook or Myspace profiles.”
The article, “Colleges Learn to Live with Social Media,” ran September 30.
Note: You can visit all of UMBC’s community links on the homepage.
