You may have noticed some new additions to the Bucks IU website. In the top left hand corner you'll see a group of icons known as a social media bar. The social media bar is a great way to promote IU services and events. To utilize these icons, first make sure you are logged into your personal social media page (ex. Facebook, Twitter). While on the Bucks IU webpage you want to share, simply click on the corresponding social media icon to post the information (ex. "f" icon is Facebook) . This button will take you to your social media page to post. It's as easy as that. The website also boasts a new "Twitter Feed" section. Follow us on twitter @BucksIU22
