The successful social community I chose is the University of Kansas. Their community consists of current students, alumni and faculty/staff. On Facebook, posts regularly get hundreds of likes/reactions, many shares and frequent conversations. KU is really good about getting into the conversations too. On Twitter, KU tweets get many likes and retweets. It appears that they are also proactive in searching for conversations/tweets about them and joining the conversations.

For KU to grow their community, I would suggest they look at what posts get the most action and focus on those. KU also has many sub-pages, like different schools and clubs, so to grow the main KU community they could start conversations with those groups often.

KU is a great community for me to look at for improving the JCCC Foundation’s community. I love the way they have conversations on Twitter, and they respond well to followers on Facebook. JCCC also has many sub-pages that I can get involved with.
