Social media accounts
You can find the Faculty of Arts on X, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube. Some programs are also on social media, but you don’t have to be! Before creating an account, ask yourself:
- Do you have capacity to post consistently on social media (1-2/week)?
- What platforms make sense for your audience and goals?
- Would it be more effective to submit content to the main Arts channels?
We’re always happy to share program news, events, and updates from the main Arts channels where we already have a larger audience and reach. If you’d like to submit anything or have questions about adding/removing/updating accounts, please connect with Olivia Vanderwal.
Quick tips
- Don’t overdo it on the graphics – photos/videos of people usually perform best
- Make sure your images are sized & designed for the platform you’re posting to (eg. Don’t use an event poster as an Instagram post)
- Keep text to a minimum on images – save it for the caption and make sure any text in images uses sufficient colour contrast
- Always add alt text to your images and captions to your videos
- Ask yourself “What’s the most engaging way to share this content?” Maybe it’s adding a question to the caption, maybe it’s filming an interview with a student. Get creative!
Social media resources
Feel free to use the templates below or not – they’re here as an option to help you save time and keep your content accessible. Your own unique photos of campus/students are always best, but feel free to use the photo album if you’re in a pinch!
