virtually with the counseling center through online contests and distribution of relevant information

opportunities for staff members to eliminate resistance to, and recognize the benefits of using social media(Mangold & Faulds, 2009)

means of communication› Solution: Awareness and commitment to
intentionally clear messages when using an electronic medium

the social media accounts, information could get outdated very quickly and be detrimental to students’ continued use› Solution: Designate or hire a dedicated
social media professional, or outsource the responsibilities
