10 MOST ACTIVE UNIVERSITIES IN SOCIAL MEDIA

By Brian Muga

The social media revolution is arguably the central technological shift of the last decade. Having a well-crafted social media presence is now as essential as having an attractive and functional website was in the early 2000s. Yet many people still express some puzzlement as to how to build a winning social media presence that can coexist comfortably with the image of universities as formal institutions, conveying prestige and tradition without seeming stuck in the past. Take for example a University like Maseno, that pride itself in offering most of its courses with IT, its a common notion that most students are well conversant with the internet and especially Social media sites.
