News for faculty and staffOctober 27, 2009IN THE SPOTLIGHTPurdue updates are a click away on Twitter, Facebook
For students, faculty and staff on campus as well as alumni, parents and peers across the country and the globe, Purdue University is always within reach due to the efforts of Christy Jones, web content developer in the Office of Marketing and Media. Jones is the mind behind the LifeAtPurdue Twitter page and the Purdue University Facebook page. "I love the Internet and the possibilities it offers to communicate with just about anyone at any time," she says. "It's cool to be able to post stories and photos and get almost instantaneous feedback on them, or to be able to help someone get an answer to a question they have. I think the platforms give a unique way that people can get news, information and photos from campus while at home, at work or on the go."
