Posting Content in the Mav Life App as a Department

Question 

How do I post content in Mav Life as a department? 

Departments can post on Mav Life as a way to share content with the student audience, including news and events. Note: First, your department needs to be set up with a Service Page in Mav life and you need to have a Campus Cloud account. Don’t have one or not sure? Submit a ticket to get started
