Are you someone who can't help but click the "share" button every time you see some great news about the UA on social media? You can now earn rewards for sharing that content on your favorite social networking sites.

The UA Alumni Association has launched a new social media program – called ArizonaSOCIALthat rewards users for promoting UA achievements on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.

The free program was created to help alumni stay connected with the University, but is open to anyone interested in UA happenings.

To sign up for ArizonaSOCIAL, you can head to arizonaalumni.com/arizonasocial and connect with your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn profile. Once you've signed up to be a "SocialCat" you can begin earning points or badges every time you share UA content via the ArizonaSOCIAL dashboard.

Points and badges are awarded for activities like sharing links and photos, clicking links, making comments and "likes," and other actions. New users can earn 100 points just by joining ArizonaSOCIAL.

ArizonaSOCIAL users who share the most content on their social media accounts, or recruit the most new members to ArizonaSOCIAL, will compete for monthly prizes, like a UA BookStores gift card.

Random monthly winners will also be selected, and every three months grand prizes – like a GoPro camera – will be awarded.

Melinda Burke, vice president of alumni relations and president of the UA Alumni Association, said ArizonaSOCIAL was developed to help promote the UA's great accomplishments.

"We want to turn our followers on social media into ambassadors who help push the University's messages out to students, alumni and friends – all while getting rewards for their support," Burke said. "ArizonaSOCIAL is a platform that rewards users for sharing our content on their social media channels."

If you're interested in spreading the news about UA achievements or just want to have fun competing for prizes, Burke said ArizonaSOCIAL is worth checking out.

"The key to our success with the program is for as many people as possible to join, and I hope everyone will help us spread the word," Burke said.
