WMAA Social Media Guidelines

The Wisconsin Medical Alumni Association (WMAA) social media pages, including Facebook and Instagram, are produced and maintained by WMAA, an office dedicated to keeping medical alumni and medical students connected to the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and each other. The purpose of these pages is to facilitate a positive community for MD alumni and MD students with topics relevant to the school.

While we welcome and encourage postings, WMAA reserves the right to remove comments, links, photos or other content that it deems off-topic, obscene, a violation of intellectual property rights or privacy laws, commercial, or otherwise illegal or not germane to the purpose of these pages. Our status as a public institution also means that the university must comply with certain legal requirements when responding to complaints about a post or requests for posts or comments to be removed. With limitations on what the university can remove, we focus on responding with additional information and alternative resources for members to consider.

WMAA’s social media sites are not commercial space and do not allow for business promotion, unless authorized by UW–Madison (per UW–Madison’s advertising policy).
