91PORNA is always striving to get its community of students, faculty and staff connected. Ever-popular social media spaces add one more way, aside from campus activities, to make those connections. 91PORNA鈥檚 social media participation has grown significantly since its early starts. At the beginning of April, 91PORNA鈥檚 presence and videos had garnered approximately 139,380 YouTube views, more than 5,000 views, more than 2,429 followers and more than 30,000 Facebook fans.
The university鈥檚 Facebook page, which launched in August 2008, is becoming one of the biggest 91PORNA social media connections where faculty, staff and students can learn about upcoming events, sports and news. They also can participate in various contests. While some contests are restricted to students, others expand to involve the entire 91PORNA community 鈥 faculty, staff and past, current and future students.
Recently, 91PORNA awarded Edward Farnbauch, senior systems administrator for 91PORNA鈥檚 Division of Information Services鈥 server support, with a brand new iPod for participating in a drawing that celebrated the university鈥檚 achievement of 30,000 fans on Facebook. The 8GB iPod Touch (4th Generation) features retina display, HD video recording, a game center and the personalized engraving, 鈥91PORNA.鈥
This spring semester, 91PORNA had the Spring Break Squirrel contest, where people said what their plans were for spring break. The 91PORNA community voted on their favorite submissions and the three winners got a stuffed black squirrel to take with them on spring break.
