Social Media Resources

Social media is one essential tool we use to share news, institutional updates, alumni, staff, faculty, and student successes and to show the global community our beautiful campus, state-of-the-art facilities, and life at Bennington College.

With a combined audience of 40,000 followers, Bennington College’s social media channels serve as a resource for prospective and current students and their families, alumni, faculty, staff, and media outlets. And many individuals associated with Bennington College use their personal account to connect with one another and share their #benningtoncollege news.

If you have content that you’d like to share, please fill out the Social Media Request form.

Our Channels

Join the conversation

We love sharing user-generated content, and it’s an important part of Bennington College’s social media strategy. Follow us on your favorite platforms to stay up to date on the latest news, events, and opportunities and make sure to tag the relevant handles and/or use the provided hashtags to participate. You can also direct message (DM) your content to us and, if you have content suggestions for the central channels, you can email those to us at communications@bennington.edu.

Support for Employees

All employees who manage active social media pages on behalf of Bennington College are invited to join Bennington College’s Social Media Group, which provides guidelines and tips, industry news and updates, timely content suggestions, and support for communicators working in this field. Members of the group also receive alerts via group chat when the College publishes messages that should be amplified broadly across all social media channels.

*Note: A bennington.edu email is required for membership. Email us with questions.
