#ThoughtfulThursdays Social Media Campaign
In order to expand our reach of public health preventive measures to keep students safe and healthy, reinforce student expectations while residing on campus, and offer support and connection to students during this time, we developed social media postings with graphically pleasing and informative messages which were shared by campus partners through their Instagram handles.
#ThoughtfulThursdays social media postings contained supportive messages for students while connecting them to campus resources during this time such as: how to identify and combat loneliness, managing grief and loss due to COVID-19, tips to improve sleep hygiene, etc. A sample of our #ThoughtfulThursday social media postings are highlighted below.
