Social Media Guidelines and Best Practices
F&S encourages all employees to use social media channels to help spread awareness of recent successes, positive impact stories, and as a way to generate a sense of community.
Employees are encouraged to share content from the F&S website, INSIDER site, or directly from your work experiences on campus. Photos and videos help tell that story. Use the hashtag #ILLINOIS to add to the international community of students, faculty, staff, alumnus, and others who care about the U. of I.
