Google+ and Twitter might seem like they're getting a lot of the press lately, but Facebook is still the biggest player in social media.Social media, and especially Facebook, have become important tools for us to reach prospective students, clinic patients and the general public. We've built up an engaged group of fans for the Bastyr Center and Bastyr University Facebook pages, both of which recently passed a noteworthy milestone - each page has more than 5,000 fans!
As of today, the Bastyr Center page has 5,180 fans, and the University has 5,158. (A number of our departments and programs are running Facebook pages of their own. Head to the University page and look at our "Likes" box on the left side for the full list.)
While 5,000 fans doesn't mean anything in particular, it's nice to see the community and fan base growing and being active. As always, if you have any ideas for innovative ways we might be able to engage prospective students or clinic patients through social media, please let us know.
PS: Yes, Bastyr University is on Twitter, too. So are the turtles.
