Welcoming new students through social media

Social media allows you to make contact with new students coming to your uni before they even arrive. So get ready to welcome them by making sure your CU’s social media is active from just before A-level results day in mid-August. That’s when most new students begin to feel like new students, searching for the CU or their uni on social media. You’ll also need to continue to cultivate your presence on social media into the Autumn term.
