Social media at the University of Sheffield

An introduction

Hello, these pages are here to showcase our social media activities and help members of University staff get the most out of social media.

They aim to provide assistance to beginners and tips & tricks for advanced users. Unfortunately as social media is such a large arena, these pages won't be able to cover everything. If there's something you'd like advice or assistance on that isn't mentioned here, please contact socialmedia@sheffield.ac.uk.

Social Media Forum

The University of Sheffield has a forum to enable social media practitioners to share their experiences with each other, and provide each other with support and guidance. Although the forum is primarily for people engaged with student communications and marketing, the group is open to all staff. Please contact l.mallett@sheffield.ac.uk if you wish to join.
