HAMILTON, NY—With President Casey’s arrival there has been an uproar around his Instagram account featuring his dog all over Colgate’s campus. Casey has been even been spotted speaking with students as his dog is paraded around iconic building like the Chapel. Luckily, Rag reporters got on the case to investigate how students are taking the new president’s social media splash.
Junior Emily McCewan, an avid Instagram user, was approached for her opinion on the Emrys Instagram. When asked about Emrys’ photo next to the Curtis Clock she responded, “I really like the lighting in the picture but I feel like a Valencia filter really would have brought out the brown in Emrys’ fur. It’s a rookie mistake, but I think that Pres. Casey has some potential.” McCewan is noted for her 1k Instagram followers and her extensive, bordering abusive, use of the “boomerang” feature.
Senior William Richardson told us what he disliked most about the Emrys Instagram, “Sometimes seeing Emry’s pictures in academic buildings makes me remember the dozens of times I’ve cried in those exact places. I’m getting emotional right now just thinking about my orgo test last year. I’m also not sure if he’s even a true Instagram user. It looks like he might be using VSCO cam on some of his pictures.” While we don’t take these allegations lightly, we do hope that Casey will come forward if he has been using third party apps to falsely increase the quality of his pictures.
Overall, students agree that President Casey’s Insta game is strong, but he has room to improve if he seriously wants to engage with social media savvy kids on this campus.
