•  Alumni testimonials and success stories

SE Blog will be same as magazine but due to nature it will allow interactive kind of communication
as students and faculty members can comment on stories and give recommendations.

This blog will not only inform readers outside the university campus, but also engage university
audience in the academic, cultural and community service innovations that make university one of
the Middle East’s most influential institutions of higher education and intercultural learning.

Through insightful profiles, thoughtful commentary and timely news items, SE blog will take viewers
inside the university and beyond – into the classrooms, laboratories and communities worldwide
where university’s accomplished students, distinguished faculty and prominent alumni are making a
difference – locally, regionally and globally.

•  university will mainly focus on its graduates by paying
full attention to their mental, educational and
behavioral development.

•  university will shed light on every single course
provided, and that will be equally done to eliminate
the possibility of not focusing on all schools,
departments, programmes and courses that the
university provides.

•  university is to be positioned as an international meeting
place where different students, staff and faculty members
from different nationalities and cultures, meet and interact
smoothly.

•  university communication department will work on profiling
its faculty members and students via creating a creative
platform that will perfectly reflect its international status

•  university is well knowing locally for being one of the best
value for money private universities with high employment
success rate.

•  Communication team will work on grabbing target audience
attention to the fact of 92% of university graduates students
are hired right after graduation.

•  Communication team to point out that strongly will work on
profiling university Alumni.

•  Communication team will work on celebrating university high
employment success periodically.

•  university will always present itself in the right place
through which it will always reach its target
audience.

1.  Via the digital Space to interact more with current and
potential students

2.  Via AL Ethad to communicate with its government and
leadership

3.  Via media to communicate directly with current and
potential parents

•  university is to ensure and maintain visibility via:

1.  Consistent frequency of communication (PRL)

2.  Establishing a bed rock through which all its
communication will be consistently and regularly
distributed.

3.  Planning on visibility where it matters the most
(peak time for students to start searching for the
best university to join)
e.g. the months of January and May, university to
be more present for its target audience via different channel
of communication.

University Social
Media Tactics

Social networks support PR

•  university can use social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to
engage directly with its many audiences

•  university can use social networks to give more impact to day by day PR activities
– networks are like ad space and newspaper coverage

•  university can use social networks to evaluate the impact of its PR activities, thus
helping to shape future work in this area

But to make social networks work as hard
as they can, university will need to…

•  Rationalise or formalise its existing social networks

•  Get more university stakeholders onto its social networks

•  Get more of university’s news and activities onto social media

!

Rationalise and formalise social networks

•  There are a number of official and semi official university social media channels

•  Branding, tone of voice, frequency of moderation is inconsistent

•  This presents a fragmented view of university

!

Engage more university stakeholders
with social media

•  university has a captive audience of students, academics, parents, business, media,
etc.
•  Only a small percentage are currently members of our social networks
•  We can influence our stakeholders better if we welcome more of them to our
social media

Get more of university’s news and
activities onto social media

•  At any one time university has a range of newsworthy activities taking place (events,
research funding wins, new courses, academic successes)
•  Many of these are not communicated on social media, but could drive recruitment
and boost public perception if they were
•  In particular, we want to see university staff and academics sharing their successes on
social media

Behind the scenes work

All corporate social media activity entails some risk, but this can usually be well mitigated
by putting in place:
•  A social media policy to guide staff and students who engage on social media in
their official capacity
•  A moderation policy suggesting best practice techniques for handling praise,
criticism, queries, abusive posters
•  A risk management policy to indicate protocols for handling crises or scandals
