UM-Flint Social Media Update | October 2010

What’s New

We did it! The recent push for 4,500 fans on Facebook was successful! On October 13, we determined that Dylan Devereaux was UM-Flint’s 4,500th fan. He received a prize pack, and so did the person who suggested that he “like” UM-Flint. We took a photo of Dylan with his prize pack that was used for our Friday Trivia Question that week. October 13 also received the month’s highest number of user interactions.
