Social Media and RWU Comm

November 26th, 2011 by roconnell

Screen shot 2011-11-26 at 12.34.27 PMThe Communication Program is now Facebooking and Tweeting!

Our Facebook™ page (RWU Communication) is our “virtual common room” and features announcements from the department faculty, students and alumns. It’s new so we need you to find it and LIKE it! And then contribute to the conversation.

Screen shot 2011-11-26 at 12.34.00 PMOur Twitter™ handle is @RWUCOMM… and we invite you to follow us.

This is the first year we have engaged the services of three workstudy Comm students to move our social media along. In addition to these two sites, we also list upcoming campus events at Events@RWU, which features speakers, film screenings, cultural and arts events so you can always find out what’s happening on campus.

So Tweet or Facebook your news to us and we will share it with the whole RWU Comm community!

The Shade Brigade

Over 30 of the 89 Communication Graduates of 2010 joined faculty members Roxanne O’Connell, Kamille Gentles-Peart and Michael Scully at Thames Waterside for a last celebration of their four (sometimes five :) ) years at RWU. This is the biggest turn out we’ve had for this end of the year bash… and no wonder—this is perhaps the largest Communication graduating class!

Congratulations again! Hope we see you at Homecoming in October. We’re planning a Comm Grad Alum reception. Look for an announcement of the RWU Comm Alum Facebook group you can friend to get more details.
