CSUMB named to list of top schools on Facebook

April 5, 2010

CSU Monterey Bay has been named one of the top 75 colleges and universities to have harnessed the power of Facebook – the No. 1 social networking site on the web – to keep their fans involved and informed.

In recent years colleges and universities across the country, including CSUMB, have embraced the power of social networking. From recruiting new students to sustaining relationships with their alumni, schools are using sites such as Facebook to keep in contact with their students, staff, faculty and graduates.

DistanceEducation.org, a website that offers information about online education, has named a list of its favorite college and university Facebook pages and CSUMB has made the list, along with the University of California-Irvine, Arizona State University, Oregon State and George Washington University, among others.

According to a story on the site, the schools it has selected "are using the power of Facebook for good by keeping their fans involved and up-to-date on everything from academics to sports."
