Employees maintaining University social media sites must also refer to the Social Media Policy (PDF).

Social media is defined as media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Examples include but are not limited to LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat and blogs.
