University of Iowa

The 'Hawkeye Wave' might just be our favourite tradition in sports.
At the end of the 1st quarter - as the countdown clock hits zero - 70,000+ football fans turn their attention from the field to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. In unison, they wave to the paediatric patients and their families watching the game.
It's a heart-warming tradition and this post gives us all the feels.
Cambridge University

Cambridge University really do have a luxury of beautiful buildings, it would be crazy not to show them off!
They do so in spectacular fashion with imagery that give us a sneak peak into what life studying at Cambridge can look like. An added bonus is the little nuggets of information they add in captions; creating another layer of post engagement.

University of California LA
Insta: @UCLA
UCLA social media team are masters of 'trend hacking', the art of piggybacking on hot brands and engaging trends.
Far from grabbing onto the coat-tails of these trends, UCLA co-create entertaining videos that are university-centric; as you can see with this wonderful Instagram Collab post with @etrikekaraoke.

University of Glasgow

We just couldn't resist a post from UofG, especially with that iconic tower receiving a sprinkling of snowflakes.
This is a great example of taking advantage of the elements to create reactive posts, as seasons are a striking way to portray your university in a different light.
Are you capturing how your university grounds evolve through term time?
As we bid adieu to our Insta Hall-of-Famers, one thing is crystal clear: it is possible for your university to leave an indelible mark on our scrolling habits.
