Laura Moix, Study Abroad & Exchange Coordinator, University of Arkansas

We use the program Hootsuite, a social media communication dashboard, to help streamline our delivery process and schedule news releases in advance so that we maximize our small staff’s resources and time. This program allows us to update Facebook and Twitter simultaneously, with stories ranging from Virtual Student Foreign eInternships from the U.S. Department of State to advice for students looking for a job overseas, to updates on different scholarships.  With this steady stream of pertinent information, we are able to keep study abroad visible not only for University of Arkansas students, but also for faculty, staff, administrative offices, and the larger Northwest Arkansas community.
