Over the last few years, Maryland has used Facebook to promote its events to students. SEE is one of the best examples of an on campus organization using free social advertising well. During the my three years at UMD, we have had several major comedians come visit campus to a sold out Cole Field house. Although there are no hard numbers, anecdotal evidence shows that many of the attendees heard of the event on Facebook. This month Seth Meyers will be on campus. It was announced on Facebook and gained over 1000 attendees within days. The word spread like wildfire and tickets were old out in less than an hour. SEE is constantly updating their Facebook and Twitter pages with new events, and for students like me its a fantastic, quick and easy way to get information. Sunday, March 4, 2012
