Being Social with LCU Alumni

The Alumni Relations team is utilizing the world of social media to engage with alumni and friends of the university.
The Lubbock Christian University Alumni Facebook page is a great place for alumni to connect with each other and LCU. Since its creation in April of 2013 the page has grown to just over 2080 likes.

The activity on the page varies from month to month but some of the peak times are at the beginning of the school year and around homecoming. The Alumni Relations team uses the page to promote homecoming events pre- and post-event information, to post photos, videos, events throughout the year, and more.

The majority of the alumni on the page are women, 80%, and the most active age group overall is 45-54 year olds. The Alumni Relations team is trying to engage recent graduates to get involved with the page by inviting them to ‘Like’ it during and after graduation activities.

So if you are a social media user go ‘Like’ the LCU Alumni Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LCUalumni, follow, and engage with your fellow alumni and friends!​  You can help us grow our alumni following by inviting your personal circle of LCU alumni friends to ‘Like’ the page.

The Alumni Relations office is also building a following on Twitter. The Twitter page, https://twitter.com/LCUAlums, has been a focus for the Alumni Relations team since January of 2014. Twitter has had a slower than expected growth but saw the strongest period of growth around homecoming activities. 

You can also find alumni on:
Website - LCUAlumni.com 

The hashtags #LCUStillFeelsLikeHome and #myLCU can be used on all but LinkedIn and the website to tie your post to these pages.
