When creating a Facebook page, it's important to make sure that you are creating a
true Facebook Page and not a Facebook Profile. While Pages and Profiles look identical
to visitors, behind the scenes, they are created and monitored differently by Facebook. Short rule of thumb: Pages are for organizations, departments, companies, etc., whereas
Profiles are for individual people. Orgs that create personal Profiles, even by accident,
may be deleted by Facebook. Problem is, the Facebook home page doesn't make this distinction
obvious, nor do they provide a prominent link for Page creation. Once on the page linked above, choose "Company, Organization or Institution," then
select the category "Education" from the menu. Finally, give your page a "company
name" that contains CSUSM (eg: "CSUSM Student Life and Leadership," "CSUSM Department
of Psychology," etc).
