SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDE
One Tribe One Day is one of the most important
giving days for the College of William & Mary. Funds
raised on this day April 21 will help support important
priorities of the university, including scholarships for
current and potential students.
Our goal is to increase awareness, engagement and the participation rate of alumni during
One Tribe One Day. As social ambassadors you can help us create an echo chamber on
various social media channels to help us meet these goals while also highlighting the
importance of giving to the university. To that end, we have developed a social media guide
to provide direction on messaging and applicable hashtags, language, and images as well as
the pertinent challenges and goals leading up to, during, and following this day.
We greatly appreciate your help furthering this important cause. If you have any questions
or need additional guidance, please feel free to contact Sarah Juliano at [email protected]
or 757-221-1372.
