At Mount Carmel College of Nursing (MCCN) we understand that all media, including social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogs and LinkedIn, photography, marketing, among others, are powerful and important communication channels that can significantly impact our community and our organization’s reputation and brand loyalty.
To assist in managing and posting information on such sites, the College has developed a policy and guidelines to help clarify how best to enhance and protect professional and personal reputations when participating in social media. This policy applies to all faculty, staff, students, and alumni in association with College social media accounts and media relations.
By participating in College activities within all College programs, students consent to photography, video, or other image use through all related social media platforms, publicity, or other means of dissemination. To opt-out of consent, please email collegerelations@mccn.edu.
If members of the College community are contacted by media representatives (TV, Radio, Print, Electronic, any and all forms), they are to refer the individuals to MCHS Marketing and Communications (mchsmarcomm@mchs.com). Students and colleagues are not permitted to speak to media on behalf of Mount Carmel or any of its entities, including the College, without permission from Marketing and Communications.
