I try to keep an eye on the #UWG hashtag to help those who need access to university services.
First, we need to do more. They shouldn’t have to ask the Twitterverse, they should be able to trust getting help directly and quickly. And it should be clear who to ask for what. 1/n

Secondly, this type of #UWG student service should happen when students are awake, which isn’t 8-5. We know this. 😂
The helpfulness can’t have “business hours” or the business should adjust their hours to meet these needs.
Because answers they get should be accurate! 2/n

My husband calls me an unofficial #UWG concierge desk who just randomly answers whatever questions are put in front of me at any time of day.
Students need this. We can’t tell them to “adult” if we aren’t ready to serve their needs. I’m an adult & I still have questions 3/n

And it’s easy to see that our #UWG students tend to regularly have certain needs at very predictable times.
They need enrollment services help. Financial Aid and Housing help, etc. Thankful for @FinancialAidUWG @uwghousing for being very active this year! But we need more. 4/n

The hardest part for me when scanning the #UWG hashtag is seeing people who are having a hard time finding friends (this semester is so hard)...we should do more.
Equally disturbing is seeing the parties (please 😷 or just don’t) and the hmu to do your schoolwork 😢 5/n

And I wish I had solutions to all this, but mostly I’m just hoping to bring some attention to it.
Except for the hair, nails, & lashes #UWG tweets there is literally an actual department or entity who is supposed to help you with these things. I wish they were all here. 6/n

And even for those beauty entrepreneurs 🙌 there are #UWG resources like the Small Business Development Center or the @UWGAuxServices Entrepreneurs thing and so on.
There’s so much here to help you. We need to communicate this all better! 7/n

But in the meantime. I’m still here ❤️💙❤️ for my #UWG folks who, like I was, are too afraid or don’t know who to ask. I’ll help you.
And I’m thankful for folks like @UWGAuxServices @emilykayehall who help me answer questions at all hours 🥰

I also built a Twitter list of #UWG folks years ago you can find it on my profile. /fin (I lost count)

And better late than never, here is the #UWG Community Twitter list I made a long time ago. If you want to have your department added, let me know. Or if you wanna follow to stay up to date with things, you can follow the list directly. twitter.com/i/lists/704364…
