iBelong for Education

Facebook grew up in the college community.  By it’s third year 85% of 4 year college students were using Facebook.   Today colleges and universities have a great opportunity to build online communities on Facebook to reach 90 + percent of their student population and a growing number of alumni who spend nearly one hour a day on Facebook.

Facebook provides colleges a unique opportunity to use:

  1. Facebook Fan pages for every club, organization and department
  2. Facebook connect and open stream to integrate auto logins
  3. Advertising to increase enrollment, fundraising and participation at events
  4. Social plugins to increase engagement on their websites

Now your college can use iBelong Online Communities to build a virtual campus that matches your physical campus.  All departments will benefit.

Adopting iBelong online communities for admissions, student affairs, alumni and athletics will enable you to:

  • Reduce your “summer melt” and increase enrollment
  • Retain students and better serve them
  • Help alumni network to do business and get jobs
  • Increase contributions via challenges and recognition
  • Increase engagement and interest in athletic events

 Explore how iBelong can help your department! 

The Facebook iBelong tool takes advantage of changing behaviors of the “Facebook generation”.  It provides games, information and connects prospective students with “authentic voices” they trust, current students , faculty and alumni.  iBelong for admissions uses the enthusiasm your fans have to deliver your brand and engage with prospective students.
ADMISSIONS

STUDENT AFFAIRS

 


Your graduating seniors are communicating and networking on Facebook.   The businesses that used to come on campus can no longer afford to do so.  Your alumni would love to mentor and help your students get jobs.   The iBelong Facebook Application for Career Centers will bring this diverse group of people together without you having to lift a finger!

CAREER SERVICES


Nearly 70 percent of alumni associations have adopted password protected online communities which, few alumni visit.  Why?  Because there is nothing for them to do there!   Alumni associations can  use the iBelong technology to create customized communities on facebook that will increase affinity, class note updates, participation in events and ultimately contributions.
