It’s no secret that with this new technology-packed world, social media has become one of the most popular ways to consume news and stay informed.
There’s a social media account for everything: every restaurant, every business, every store and every event.
With that being said, here are 10 Instagram accounts that any Fresno State student should follow to stay informed about anything campus or community related.
1. @fscollegian
The Collegian, the creator of the paper you’re currently reading, is Fresno State’s independent student-run newspaper since 1922. The Collegian produces daily content online at fscollegian.com and on social media, ranging from five different sections: news, lifestyle, sports, opinion and multimedia.
This is Fresno State’s main Instagram page. The university posts a weekly calendar of events every Monday, as well as any campus updates.
Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) is Fresno State’s official student government. ASI meets bi-weekly every Wednesday from 4-6 p.m. in the Resnick Student Union
