Can't turn down free coffee and hot chocolate from the @timhortons truck. Get yours: 8-11 a.m. all week long. Outside the Science building.
What’s new?
We are seeing more of our followers taking great pics around campus and the city and tagging us, so we’re re-sharing more content.
And now that you can follow hashtags, we encourage our followers to follow #memorialuniversity and #munpix to see photos and videos that we’ve shared from other Memorial students.
What makes a good post?
The unpredictable weather of Newfoundland and Labrador always seem to capture the attention of our audience. Our followers definitely respond to a good weather shot.
As always, our goal is still capturing the essence of the Memorial experience in a cool, visual manner.
