Social Networking Do's and Don'ts Personal Enrichment Workshop at GPC Decatur

Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Ning and Youtube have become common means of communicating and expanding one's circle of friends and associates. College students, especially, are likely to invest much of their time in these kinds of online forums.

This being true, it is important to consider the ways that divulging information on these sites can affect individuals' social interactions, future job prospects and current finances.

To address this issue, the Advising, Counseling and Retention Services Department of Georgia Perimeter College's Decatur campus will present "Social Networking Do's and Don'ts," a workshop that will help college students "explore ways to maintain personal safety and boundaries and learn strategies to manage [their] image online."

This program will run on February 15 from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. in Building F, Room 2100 and on February 16 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon in the same location.
