Background

GO-MAP stands for Graduate Opportunities and Minority Achievement Program. It is a department within the University of Washington that is committed to serving the needs of the underrepresented (minoritized) groups of students within the university's graduate programs  

​Objective

GO-MAP had almost zero presence on social media, especially on Facebook and LinkedIn. The objective given to me was to establish GO-MAP's voice, and ensure consistent reach and engagement

Approach
Content Audit.png

Audited content previously posted on social media handles, across the web on blogs focusing on people of color, and assessed audience needs

Created a quarterly social media calendar focusing on a mix of original content, event based content, and sharing content from relevant websites / blogs
