14. Key Trends and Concepts
Social media is the default state and media for Millennials1
They rely on user generated content for major life and financial
decisions1
Millennials share good and bad information freely (living life out loud) 1
They place a high value on reputation derived from social media 1
Millennials absorb and manage information differently than other
generations1
Universities that create their own open communities have a much
greater degree of credibility with Millennials 2
Social business enablement in higher education demonstrates an
immediate, measurable impact on engagement and reputation 2

“While social technologies have swept through the popular culture and are being adopted across industries, we find that businesses have only just begun to understand how to create value with these new tools.”
In an increasingly competitive market, forward thinking institutions of higher education are integrating social concepts and practices to gain market share and more deeply engage prospective and current students, and alumni. Higher education faces two emerging challenges: adapting to how millennial’s live, interact and learn, and properly preparing students for the emerging social business workforce by bridging the transition of Facebook to LinkedIn. Currently, the student lifecycle, college admission to landing a first job, is a largely unmanaged process, making social evolution a greenfield opportunity for higher education. University graduates experience a substantial transition in their core knowledge and understanding as well as in how they use social tools, behaviors, and networks when they enter the workplace. This evolution can be viewed through the prism of three social personas.

It leverages social software technologies (blogs, forums, groups, etc.) to enable interaction between people on topics of mutual interest.What it is NOT?Customer service websiteE-commerce siteGeneral use of social media tools (e.g. twitter, Facebook)
- Made admissions more convenient by reducing communication and operational friction in the process- Provided an experience people liked spending time with by getting to know what matters to them and serving those needs- Built brand preference by fostering relationships with student peers, faculty, alumni- Kept MSOE top of mind and relevant with more brand involvement and touchpoints- Multiple tiers of increasing involvement, gamification and "stickiness" creates smaller commitments that made larger commitment easier
