CINCINNATI - From sleeping, to studying, to exercising or having a beer, University of Cincinnati students took to Twitter to talk about what they did on what officials say is the school’s first snow day in two years.
Jeremy Martin, UC’s director of digital communications, mans the @UofCincy Twitter. Although the school’s emergency management team took care of breaking the news of canceled classes on March 6, Martin asked students how they planned to spend the day.
Engaging students through social media is a good way for the school to keep in touch with students, he explained.
“It’s part of our overall strategy with social media to do that, to engage with our constituents,” Martin said. “Our students are our No. 1 group that would follow us in any social media platform.”
WCPO 9 On Your Side tweeted to UC students asking what they did on their day off from classes. Here are some responses Bearcats sent:
