Hashtags
National Park College uses a series of hashtags in an effort to uniformly catalog the College’s most important stories. Hashtags should be properly vetted and approved by Advancement before implementing. It is important to use appropriate hashtags that are not in widespread use by other organizations or businesses. Hashtags should be written in camel case. The following are hashtags currently in use by College social media profiles:
#ThisIsNPC – This is our primary catch-all hashtag for stories and news about the College.
#NPCHawks – This hashtag is used by the athletics accounts to build Nighthawk pride.
#NighthawkGrit – This hashtag is used by primary and athletics accounts to tell stories of student, faculty, and staff determination.
