The Office of Communications and Public Affairs (OCPA) has established standards for all University-affiliated social media accounts to help ensure a consistent, professional, and responsible presence across platforms.
Accounts that do not comply with these standards may have administrative privileges suspended.
Social Media Values
UMB recognizes both the opportunity and responsibility that come with engaging students, faculty, staff, alumni, partners, and the broader community through social media.
Our social media presence is guided by these principles:
- Transparency and accuracy
- Respectful and constructive engagement
- Free expression within appropriate boundaries
- Protecting the privacy of our community
Share content thoughtfully, particularly when discussing sensitive, controversial, or rapidly developing topics.
