MSU social media soars in national rankings Thanks to our proud and dedicated Eagle followers! We couldn’t have done it without you. Morehead State University engages with students, alumni and the community to bring awareness and share the Eagle experience through social media. These efforts have been recognized with a significant uptick in a national university social media ranking. The 2023 Higher Education Social Media Engagement Report published by Rival IQ this past August, ranks MSU at 206 out of 364 ranked schools, up 22 spots since last year. MSU is ranked third among public institutions in the state, ahead of Murray State University, Eastern Kentucky University, Northern Kentucky University, and Western Kentucky University. In addition to being one of the Top 200 (163rd, up 33 spots) on Instagram, MSU’s Facebook

account ranked in the Top 100 (63rd) and jumped up 73 places in just one year. Rival IQ’s 2023 Higher Education Social Media Engagement Report ranked Division 1 and Division 2 schools based on engagement rates and totals and posting frequency across social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X (formerly known as Twitter). “Morehead State University engages with students, alumni, and the community to bring awareness and share the Eagle experience through social media,” said Rick Hesterberg (Class of 1980), vice president for university advancement. “These efforts are being recognized nationally, which is a tribute to our creative team in promoting what makes MSU a special place.”
