Higher Ed Experts

Like drinking from a firehose! I’m looking forward to the recordings so I can go back and pick up what I might have missed.

I’ve been working in higher ed social media since the advent of Facebook pages, so I came into this course with a fair amount of experience. However, I’ve never felt like an “expert.” In the context of a social media focused position (I was formerly a public relations specialist a.k.a. jack of all trades at a small college), I feel much more immediacy for getting our university’s social media presence organized and intentional. And, now I can.
This course helped ground me in strategy and assessment, which are the very elements necessary for impacting departmental and even institutional change. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to avoid “Can you post this?” status and become a true campus leader for social media.

A good team-building event

It was very informative with excellent and very well-qualified speakers. It was a little more social-media heavy than I have need for in my own role but I learned some great tips and ideas to pass on to our social media people. 🙂
