​​Position Overview

​​

The goal of creating the Social Media Marketing Team is to have student member involvement to improve our social media presence. We currently have presence on a few sites and our content has been minimal and sporadic since it was established and leaves so much room for improvement. The National Office accounts follow a great number of chapters that we have found and that have started following ours.  The content on the TriBeta chapter social media accounts is fabulous and we are confident with the skills and expertise of the members behind the scenes of those accounts, the National Office social media accounts can tremendously improve!  Ultimately we want the social media channels to help spread the word to more TriBeta members about events, opportunities, and important announcements that come up throughout the year, as well as encourage other biology students to create chapters at their schools were a chapter is not established.  

​​​​

The coordination of content creation, approval, scheduling, and planning across platforms will be key to the social media success.  Having good communication and collaboration skills, attention to details, observing deadlines, and being a good team player are critical attributes we are looking for in this position.  The goal is to post content daily on the platforms we have presence on in some format.  The content would be uploaded beforehand for the most part and scheduled to post across platforms.  

 

The National Office has started a list of content ideas and various TriBeta topics so that a calendar can be created.  We also want input from the intern team for content suggestions.  Content will range from TriBeta announcements, merchandise sales/promos, chapter shout-outs, member spotlights, advisor kudos, BIOS publication features, sharing of TriBeta chapter content, promotion of our national partner, NMDP, cool and interesting things in biology/science, important dates such as Earth Day, Ocean Day, focus on scientists, and so on. 

​​

Who Can Apply?
