Connect online with Vlerick through social networks

26 Jan 2011

We are increasing our efforts to connect with past, present and future students, as well as researchers, professors,... Join us on Facebook, the largest network in the world, the business-to-business network LinkedIn, check-in on Foursquare or follow our tweets on Twitter. We want to interact, communicate and share online with you!

	As for Facebook a number of groups were created on Vlerick, but now there’s also an official Vlerick Facebook group managed by the School. Join us to stay tuned on our news and events, pictures and videos. To be able to join our group, you need to have a Facebook account. Vlerick Alumni has its own Facebook page. Click here to join them.
	The Vlerick LinkedIn group will be used to post news, research and even job opportunities. Other official LinkedIn groups have been created as well for past, present and future participants of specific programmes, such as the Executive Master Classes in Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Controllership, Corporate Finance and Business Process Management. These platforms make it easy for participants to connect and communicate outside of the classes. The Linkedin group of Vlerick Alumni is a closed group. Only alumni can join it.
	We also wanted to offer an easy way to watch our videos and get updated when new videos have arrived. That's why we have opened a YouTube channel. More and more we want to communicate with you through video, of our conferences, programmes, events, interviews and other information. If you want to stay up to date, subscribe to our video channel on YouTube! Vlerick alumni also has it's channel on Youtube where you can watch videos about alumni events.
	Foursquare is a free location-based iPhone application (as well as an Android and BlackBerry app) that allows you to "check in" each time you visit the school. You can check in and meet fellow students, professors and alumni, earn badges and even become the mayor of Vlerick on our Foursquare account.
	Finally, we also have an account on Twitter, which we will use mostly for news, press, research results, updates,... Twitter is the new exciting way of social networking. The principle is very simple: tell the world what you're doing! In our case, we tell the world what the School is doing! Do you have a Twitter account? Then start following the school now!
