Stanislaus State maintains a social media presence in order to tell our story to multiple audiences, to build relationships and to encourage discussions in a central forum. We are eager to hear from our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends on the following official University social media sites:
Facebook is the most popular social networking website in the world. Members can create profiles and connect with friends; share updates, contents and activities; create pages for businesses, nonprofits or causes; and follow updates from their favorite places. A Facebook page can be a great way to promote activities in your department or program; showcase accomplishments or events; engage with students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community; and create a forum for conversation or discussion. Please note that it is against Facebook policy to create a personal profile for a business/institution.
X
X (formerly known as Twitter) is a very popular social networking and micro-blogging platform where users share concise posts, 280 characters or less, in a largely public forum. The pace of information is faster compared to other social media platforms, making it a good resource for sharing timely information.
Instagram is a highly visual social platform that focuses on sharing photos and videos. Instagram also can be linked to other social media sites, such as Facebook or Twitter. Instagram provides opportunities to connect with current or prospective students as well as the community.
Our LinkedIn University Page provides a unique opportunity to reach alumni and professionals. LinkedIn groups and company pages also are excellent forums to connect with alumni and professionals related to the field of your department or program and foster discussions and relationships.
Threads
Threads is a new app built by the Instagram team designed for sharing text updates and joining public conversations. Posts can be up to 500 characters long and include links, photos and videos up to five minutes in length. Threads provides opportunities to connect with current or prospective students and community members.
TikTok
TikTok is a platform where users can create and share short-form videos set to music or audio clips. Its unique algorithm promotes discoverability and viral content. Known for its creative and diverse content, TikTok has become a global phenomenon, particularly popular among younger audiences for its engaging, authentic and easily consumable format. TikTok provides opportunities to connect with current and prospective students.
