Help Us Promote Our Ongoing We Are FACS Campaign

We released a new undergraduate student recruitment video, “We Are FACS,” last summer. The video and accompanying social media campaign showcase the best of our college and centers around three key themes identified via interviews with current students and alumni: the family feel of FACS, the diverse career pathways we offer and the employment opportunities available to graduates. Please consider sharing the video within your networks to help us reach as many prospective students as possible, using the hashtag #WeAreFACS. In addition, video interviews with eight students from a variety of majors are available on our  YouTube channel.
