Our Story
Let’s face it: managing social media for educational institutions isn’t just about posting events and registration deadlines. It’s about so much more.
It requires time, creativity, strategy, collaboration, and a deep understanding of your audience and platforms. It’s about telling your institution’s story in a way that connects with students, faculty, alumni, and the community—and ultimately supports your institution’s mission and goals.
How do we know? Because we’ve been there.
Hi! I’m Maya, the founder of College Crusader. For over 15 years, I’ve worked in higher education marketing, including six years leading the marketing department at a community college. While collaborating with colleagues from community colleges and other higher education institutions, I noticed the same challenges kept coming up:
- Limited resources and staffing shortages
- A lack of social media knowledge or strategy
- Minimal faculty and staff participation in content development
- Overwhelm with managing multiple platforms
- Uncertainty about how to leverage social media as a strategic tool
I’ve been in your shoes, and I know how frustrating it can be to balance the growing demands of social media with limited time and resources. That’s why I created College Crusader—to empower marketing and social media professionals at colleges, universities, and educational institutions to make a bigger impact without burning out.
