Social Media Consultation and Guidance
Social media is a tool for the dissemination of news and information about the University to students, parents, prospective students, alumni, faculty and staff, donors, members of the community, and news media. Stay connected via our social media channels.
Campus Community Emails
The university acknowledges that email is an efficient and cost-effective method for reaching internal audiences. However, members of the university community have expressed concerns about unsolicited, mass-distributed internal emails. Research indicates that the overuse of email messaging through all-university email groups undermines the effectiveness of delivering critical, time-sensitive information and decreases overall engagement.
As a result, the Office of Marketing and Communications will reserve mass email distribution exclusively for critical notifications, emergencies, and urgent calls-to-action. All other non-urgent communications should be placed on the Clayton State University intranet, LochNet.
