Higher Ed Social

Episode three is all about growing up and figuring out the future. Michael Venturiello graduated from college and immediately entered the working world as an RD, but a year later switched gears, and cities. He now resides in Buffalo, New York and is slowly figuring out where exactly he wants to be. We talk about silos in higher ed, networking as a young professional, and Mike's plans to travel abroad. We should warn you at home who are a bit squeamish that we talk about some bodily fluids, too.

Episode two marks the last podcast of 2014, and we're saying hello to the new year with Dave Tyler, Digital and Social Specialist at the College at Brockport State University of New York.  'Tis the season to talk about holiday cards, as well as the fine line non-religious institutions walk this time of the year.  All of us take a moment to make some resolutions for 2015, too, both personally and professionally. We also talk about the SUNY Mascot Madness campaign and the SUNY (State University of New York) system.

Episode one features Todd Sanders, Director of Social Media at the University of Florida, and he's a big Green Bay fan. Aside from Todd nearly spoiling the end of Jackie's favorite reality shows, we talk about what it's like to work on a decentralized campus, and Todd's transition to a new role at a new institution. Other topics include Lougan's cats, Belmont Street, college sports, and more about Lougan's cats.

Episode zero is the one that's generally passed over, but if you want a witty introduction to the intention of higher ed social, take a listen. We talk about what will be featured on the podcast down the road (hint: higher education, and other fun stuff), but also chat about what new things are happening on social media in higher ed, including student workers and fun ways to support students during finals week.
