Social & Digital Media

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.

As an institution, Augusta University understands that social media plays a large role in the lives of our students, alumni, faculty and staff. Our institutional values encourage members of the Augusta University family to interact with one another across platforms. Social media platforms are easy-access, low-cost, large-audience communication tools, that we as a university use to enrich our environment and further discovery.

If your college or unit is interested in creating a social media page, please submit a request. Please note that not all social media pages will be approved. Check with your embedded communicator for your college or unit for approved social media pages.
