Online groups keep COE graduates connected
August 2008
College of Education graduates can stay in touch through a few simple clicks of a computer mouse thanks to online social and career networking sites like Facebook.com, LinkedIn.com and Auburn University's own Tiger2Tiger.
The College of Education's Office of External Relations created online groups in 2008 in order to alert alumni to upcoming events and college news.
Facebook, a free social networking site with more than 175 million users, allows members to share exchange e-mail and instant messages, as well as links, videos and an unlimited number of photos.
LinkedIn, an online network of more than 25 million professionals representing 150 different industries, allows members to create profiles summarizing work experience and accomplishments. Profiles enable members to find former colleagues, clients and business partners. Users can also add more connections by inviting trusted contacts to join their LinkedIn networks.
Tiger2Tiger, a free online community provided by Auburn University's Office of Alumni Affairs, is exclusively for all Auburn alumni. Graduates can use the site to invite other Auburn alums to their social circles, form discussion groups, network with current alumni contacts or help other graduates with their career searches.
