After reading, exploring, consulting, and meeting (a lot!), we've developed a set of guidelines for University units that want to use social networking as part of their electronic communications strategy.

The guidelines can be found here: Social Networking Guidelines. These guidelines should be considered a moving target as social networking evolves, new opportunities arise, and old systems die.

We are not quite finished with the image component related to the guidelines. We will offer a customizable group of graphics for use with social networking profiles and pages. These graphics, intended for University units and not for personal use, will help users quickly identify your unit and the University. The graphic on the right gives you an idea of some of the designs we're exploring.

As always, please let us know if you have questions about the guidelines or have ideas for improvement. We want to hear your input!
