MILWAUKEE (Nov. 16, 2009) - Milwaukee Area Technical College has expanded its presence several popular social media networks in an effort to share news and information about the college.

MATC recently launched a YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/InsideMATC - to share videos related to MATC news and events, the college's academic programs, and current and prospective students. 

Additionally, there are two Twitter accounts – MATC_News (http://twitter.com/MATC_news), which relays information about the college and Life_at_MATC (http://twitter.com/life_at_matc), which focuses on student activities.

“Having a social media presence is critical for the college,” said Kathleen Hohl, director of communications. “Being a part of these networks helps us spread the word about the many, many good things that are happening all throughout MATC. In a relatively short time period, we’ve been able to attract fans and followers and hope these numbers continue to grow.”
