This week we’d like to start recommending a few interesting Twitter accounts for higher ed folks to follow and learn from. If you have additional suggestions to add each Friday, we’d love to hear from you in the comments.
@IthacaCollege
Super-responsive to both new students and alumni. Presents a peek into day-to-day life on campus with a tone that is both fun and informative.
@JohnsHopkins
A bit more news-y (and news release-y) than Ithaca, but I don’t mean that in a bad way at all. It does a great job collecting and re-tweeting news of interest to the Johns Hopkins community, a great service for such a huge, disperse institution.
@Braves
As @TimNekritz wrote recently, the Braves provide a great example of both buy-in from a huge organization and personalized contact with its many fans. A great example of how an institution can behave like a person.
And, what the hell, @oldspice. Talk about personalized contact! The new videos from this manly marketing man may have ended, but it’s still fairly early in the admiration-analysis-imitation-parody-backlash cycle.
