Social media can be a useful tool for university writing centers to connect with students, advertise services, and get feedback. The document discusses how writing centers can use platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs to share information about hours, events, and resources. It also explains how social media can enhance consultations by facilitating professional communication, and encourages students to engage by writing blog posts, sharing links, and asking questions. Social media allows writing centers to communicate with students where many already spend time online.
