Colleges, universities and other educational institutions are utilizing this network in a number of creative ways. Here is a display of the creative ways various universities are using Snapchat to reach their students, as well as showcase their campus for prospective students.

Inspiring students to consider and work towards going to college requires their counselors to draw on a number of techniques, technologies, tools and programs like college tours. Many counselors report that tours can often be the catalyst or tipping point for a child who could go either way.

As admissions officers, how to work toward making campus visits easier, more cost-efficient and more valuable to students? In seeking answers to these challenges, a 2016 College Tour Survey was distributed to nearly 2,400 high school counselors throughout the country (most of whom are affiliated with GEAR UP, TRIO, and AVID programs). What was found was both a wide variance in answers for some questions, then almost universal agreement on others. Read This Article Why do people feel so miserable and disengaged at work? Because today's businesses are increasingly and dizzyingly complex — and traditional pillars of management are obsolete, says Yves Morieux. So, he says, it falls to individual employees to navigate the rabbit's warren of interdependencies.
In this energetic talk, Morieux offers six rules for "smart simplicity." Using six key rules, it encourages employees to cooperate in order to solve long-term problems. It isn’t just about reducing costs and increasing profit -- it’s about maximizing engagement through all levels of a company. 12 minutes in length. Watch here.

With 77% of college students using this app at least once a day and half of students using this app as a main avenue for communication, it only makes sense that universities take advantage of this platform for admissions and community involvement.
