Social Media

Social media is an online community of sharing, with many different platforms. The university's primary accounts are used to communicate and engage with the public, including customer service, news, emergencies and storytelling. There are many social media accounts associated with the university, some of which are included on Iowa State's social media directory.

Rosacker also is available to speak with or present to groups on a variety of social media topics.
