I attended the FinalSite social media webinar this morning. They now have a web site to help schools get started with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Here are a few notes of the most interesting examples I picked up from this session.
Northfield Mount Hermon
- 2,000 fans of their main Facebook page
- separate Facebook page for “admitted but not yet enrolled” students
Christchurch School
- Admission inquiry Facebook page
Urban School
- Facebook page for “accepted but not enrolled” students
Could LinkedIn replace our web site career network? I’ll test the idea tonight with our alumni board.

Me, too. They even have a real, live duck. I had to settle for elephant skin instead.
