Social Media

Social media allows MCC to communicate and share information with our students and the larger community. Following best practice helps us build a relationship with our audience and ensure our messages are concise, friendly, and helpful.

So you want to create a Social Media Account...

Contact OMPR before creating a social media account. Prior to meeting with us, we recommend answering the following questions:

• What are your communication goals?
• What communication needs aren’t currently addressed by your website, newsletter, or other properties?
• Who is your audience and what do they need?
• Which social platform or platforms do your audience members use?
• Does your office have the resources to maintain a social presence consistently? Is there someone who can write, create, and curate content on a regular basis, respond to questions in a timely manner, etc.?

Representing MCC on Social Media

MCC-related social media accounts must be requested/approved by the Office of Marketing and Public Relations (OMPR). If OMPR approves the request for a social media account, OMPR will provide an official profile image.
