Personal Social Network Accounts

Social networks and blogs are popular for both personal and professional use; oftentimes there is no separation between the two. When using social media, whether in a professional capacity or personal capacity, it is important to bear in mind that whatever we say or do online reflects who we are personally and as employees of the College of Charleston.

Your actions on social media networks and online communities are viewed and regarded no differently than your behavior in your regular community. Make certain to use privacy-setting tools in each of your accounts to appropriately limit your information, and if you are using your account for professional purposes (e.g., research, story ideas, polls) be sure to state your purpose clearly.

Social media, as with all technology, is in constant flux and the guidelines surrounding its use must be adapted accordingly. Any questions regarding current trends and best practices may be directed to the Office of University Marketing.
