Please summarize in a few words/sentences how your program/project has reached out to, involved, or engaged:

  • Other Bonners: At the moment, the most we have been able to do during the summer is reach out to the campus and community members via Facebook and Twitter by gathering "fans" and "followers". When school comes back into session, we will have more engagement from other Bonners and Wesleyan students.
  • Students at large: "" ""
  • Campus Groups/Departments: We have provided information sessions/trainings for Faculty, Student Development, Financial Aid, the Annie Merner Pfeiffer Library, WVWC Football coaches and the Graduate Studies office. As a result, various departments are beginning to utilize social media in their work and the institution as a whole is beginning to discuss the implementation of social media in the overall marketing of Wesleyan.
  • Community Constituents: None.
