Social Media Policies & Procedures

MCC encourages the use of social media to connect with students, employees, alumni, potential students, and the community. Social Media is an excellent venue to communicate, share, engage, and discuss events around campus, enrollment, academic programs, student success, and much more. Our social media strategy at Muskegon Community College (MCC) is designed to cultivate community and campus involvement while elevating the public perception of our institution. All official MCC social media sites must adhere to state and federal laws and college policies. Only public information may be posted on MCC social media sites.

MCC is committed to fostering an educational environment that allows for freedom of speech and expression in accordance with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, However, MCC will not tolerate any activity or posting on an official MCC social media site that loses First Amendment protections such as any unlawful, defamatory, or obscene activity or posting. MCC reserves the right to remove any such posting without notice. MCC also reserves the right to refer negative or illegal social media activity to appropriate authorities.

Creating MCC Associated Social Media Accounts

  • All new MCC social media accounts require approval from Kristin Tank (kristin.tank@muskegoncc.edu).
  • Account names should include “MCC” or “Muskegoncc” (e.g., @MCCgardenclub).
  • MCC-associated accounts must display the official college logo, approved by MCC Marketing & Communications.
  • Maintain consistency by using the same social media handle across all platforms (e.g., @MCCgardenclub).
  • Provide and keep current sign-on credentials on file with Samantha Korecki, Social Media Coordinator
