    Let me take a selfie

    The university is giving faculty, staff students, alumni and Lion fans everywhere a chance to strike a pose, capture a moment and show the world what Southeastern means to them through their fall #southeasternselfie campaign. 

    “It’s open to anyone – students, faculty, staff, alumni and even community members, if they’d like to get in on the fun,” said Erin Cowser, executive director of Public and Governmental Affairs. 

    The purpose of the #southeasternselfie campaign is to increase pride in the education earned as a member of the Southeastern family. To start, everyone is encouraged to follow @oursoutheastern on Instagram. Throughout the fall semester Lions are encouraged to upload their best images to Instagram, include the #southeasternselfie hashtag and tag @oursoutheastern before sharing. 

    Instagram profiles must be public or followed by @oursoutheastern in order for photos to be viewed. If your profile is private or you are not sure @oursoutheastern follows you, send an email to [email protected] to share your photo or request a follow. 

    “Take some pictures now as classes kick into gear, and maybe it will eventually cool down enough to post pictures that include green and gold hats and scarves when the Lions head into the playoffs,” said Cowser. 

    Some examples of proper images would be people enjoying back-to-school events, a professor who remembers names, a group of friends studying together in Sims Memorial Library, a student organization serving the community, students gaining hands-on experience in the classroom or people cheering on the Lions at Strawberry Stadium. 

    Up to 10 photos will be selected this semester as winners of the #southeasternselfie campaign. 

    “Winners will receive [Southeastern] T-shirts and be selected randomly throughout the fall semester,” said Cowser. “Feel free to post as many pictures as you like.”

    According to the campaign page on the university website, winning photos will be based on originality and exemplification of all that is Southeastern. Photos entered in the #southeasternselfie campaign may be used as the profile picture on Facebook, in other university social media or website posts. Everyone is encouraged to Lion Up and show off what makes them love Southeastern.
