AU alumni Raysean Ricks. He catches you up with university news, events and breaks
down what life is really like for a college student.
Jag Mobile is a one-stop virtual location for all need-to-know information. This will
include news and alerts, department updates, emergency information, health resource

Social media allows individuals to create and participate in online communities. These
communities grant opportunities for individuals to share information, ideas, stories,
and engaging content such as photos and videos.
To help out all departments and divisions around campus, IT has provided a listserv email that sends to all operators of our digital screens. This option allows for your message to be
posted around campus with just one email.

Dormant & Inactive Social Media Accounts Bearing the Augusta University Name:
Social media channels at Augusta University must be consistently updated and monitored.
The Digital Content Team in the Division of Communications & Marketing assesses all
affiliated accounts. A social media audit occurs four times a year to monitor accounts
and review activity. Accounts that have been inactive for an extended period of time
may be subject to deactivation or deletion. Deactivation and deletion will be carried
out by contacting and working with appropriate leadership. If you have created or
acquired a social media account that bears the Augusta University name or marks, but
that account is not used in regular and direct support of institutional priorities,
you should take steps to have the account removed from the relevant social network.
Logos and Marks
The use of all logos or marks must adhere to Augusta University Brand Guidelines.
