TCU Office of Communication utilizes Internet communication tools

Fort Worth, TX

10/8/2008

In an effort to stay visible and better connect with faculty, staff, students, alumni and others, TCU’s Office of Communication has developed a TCU channel on YouTube at www.youtube.com/tcu and a Twitter page at www.twitter.com/tcu.

On TCU’s YouTube channel, viewers can watch special speakers from events like the Schieffer Symposium, see unique research projects being undertaken and clips of athletic games. The Twitter page is fed by TCU’s RSS (really simple syndication) feed from TCU’s news and events page and from athletics’ news site. Both sites allow TCU to reach various groups, including younger students who are more active on the Internet. The YouTube channel also lets users pass along their favorite videos.

In addition to watching videos on the YouTube channel, TCU faculty, staff and students can submit their own videos showing how TCU has helped put them ahead of the curve. To see examples of the types of videos that will be submitted for posting to the TCU YouTube channel, go to www.ahead.tcu.edu.

Our Internet tools can also be found on the left hand side of the www.newsevents.tcu.edu page under "TCU Web 2.0 Tools."
