In another, more comprehensive ranking of higher ed social media efforts &#8212; a study that looked at a year&#8217;s worth of engagement across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/get.rivaliq.com\/hubfs\/eBooks\/Rival_IQ_Higher_Education_2020.pdf\">Baylor was ranked No. 12 in the nation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In both studies, Baylor is surrounded by some pretty impressive names.\u00a0The Instagram top 10, in particular, is a nice list: Harvard, Ohio State, Columbia, Texas A&amp;M, Michigan, Clemson, Navy, Yale, Baylor and Stanford. (Put another way, that\u2019s three Ivy League schools, 4 large state universities, a service academy, plus Baylor and Stanford.)<\/p>\n<p>The honor speaks to the quality of what Baylor&#8217;s social media team is posting, of course, but also to how engaged the Baylor Family remains with the university, even long after graduation.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Baylor has been honored for its social media presence, and thanks to you, we have no reason to think it will be the last.
