Some ideas for content

• How does this show a positive impact on others at Mason and beyond?
• Consider interviewing other students as well
Content that is NEVER acceptable
• Please don’t open snaps sent to us! You can only open them once & I need to see and respond
to them
• Hateful, threatening or stereotyping comments. This includes what you might think a “joke” is – be very cautious of pop culture references that could prove to be offensive
• Violent behavior & obscene language
• Partying, drinking, drugs
• Nudity or sexual content
• Overtly political content such as protests, petitions, student elections.
• Commercial content — whether it is your business or someone else’s.
• Criticism of a specific person or organization.
• Snaps of children (anyone under the age of 18)
• Snaps of people who of people would not want or expect their photo/video to be shared. (Embarrassing moments, unflattering angles, private events, sensitive topics.)
