HigherEd BlogCon :: Day Two is New Media in Alumni Relations

18 April 2006 3 views No Comment

HEBC More interesting presentations today from student affairs professionals. Yesterday’s posts spurred some comments showing the excitement about social media in higher education. See Joseph Diorio’s comment to the right.

…Joseph Diorio said yesterday, “I think your presentation is excellent! I have been arguing for a blog at our school for years. Your presentation confronts the “roadblocks” opponents to blogs point out, and shows how to get around them. Any chance I can get a copy of this presentation to share with our senior staff?”

So, what will today bring? Check out these posts and please post about HigherEd BlogCon to help us share these ideas with communicators everywhere. The ideas, I believe, may transcend their usage in higher education and be applicable in many business practices, too.
