Social Media

Social Media

Social Media is where we highlight the unique stories of our community across various platforms. By reaching a broad audience, we effectively promote AWC students, campuses, and events.

Official AWC Social Media

Arizona Western College maintains official social media profiles on Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

Let us tell your story! Social media is intended to be just that—SOCIAL. Tell us your good news, promote your upcoming event, share your unique AWC experience with us so we can share it with our audiences. Make sure you include social media in your next Marketing Request.  

We create strategies to ensure promotions are seen by the largest audience possible on the most appropriate platforms. These strategies evolve and vary by request. Please rest assured our teams make data-driven decisions when considering placement and style. If you have questions about our social media work, please contact our Director of Content Strategy and Development.   

Department and Program Satellite Pages

In addition to our main social channels, you may also connect with our satellite Department, Program, and Club socials at azwestern.edu/connect. 

Interested In Starting a New AWC Satellite Page?

Your first step is to contact our Director of Content Strategy and Development. We will assess the need for an additional page and, upon approval, decide which platforms are best for your goals. Then, our team will help create, brand, and promote your new page from start to finish. All new pages will receive a standardized, branded profile image. Contact us if you have an existing page that requires an updated profile image. 

New satellite pages that are created without permission will not be considered official accounts and will be removed or rebranded at our discretion.   

Social Media Page Admins and Ownership 

Ownership of all AWC social media pages, main institution and satellite pages, lies ultimately with Arizona Western College Marketing and Communications. We reserve the right to full access and can revoke privileges from admins when social media guidelines are unmet, or employee standards fall, or disciplinary actions take place.  

In case of emergency, turnover, and as best practice, the Marketing and Communications office must have administrative access and/or maintain record of login credentials for every department or program page. Example: Facebook will require the addition of a Page Administrator within settings, while other platforms may require the safe sharing of login credentials. Our team will walk you through the credential sharing process.   

All institutional pages must have a full-time employee who is identified as the primary Page Administrator responsible for the account(s) and at least one full-time or part-time employee as a secondary administrator. Ideally, this should be the department lead. Student employees or volunteers may be granted access to help maintain department or program pages in addition to the selected Page Administrators.  

For questions regarding satellite page creation and administration, contact our Director of Content Strategy and Development.
