Social media has changed the way we communicate—both as an institution and as individuals. With tools such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and blogs, anyone with an Internet connection now has the ability to create a dynamic web presence, update it from wherever they are whenever they want, and share their content instantly with friends and followers around the world. Social media has given Miami University the opportunity to engage in ongoing "conversations" with our students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, colleagues, fans and friends about what is most important to them, extending the community found on the Miami University campus to the world.
