In this shorty episode, I’m digging into the streaming/gaming platform Twitch, University eSports and answering a listener question if departments should close social media accounts due to lack of engagement. However, the meat and potatoes of the episode is about how to be follow-worthy campus leader on Instagram. Don’t miss the final heartwaves segment, where I open up a bit about how I overcome setbacks. Get your earbuds ready and make sure to check out the show notes for all the goodies I mention!

In the season three premiere, I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Ajay Nair, the 22nd President of Arcadia University about his recent journey into the presidency, as well as his thoughts on integrating family into his professional life and even his social media feed. This 2.0 President brings authenticity, diversity, personalization and a genuine approach to social media. While Ajay is a campus executive, he also loves to be a student - which is exactly how he stays attuned to technology changes from students and even his children.

At the 2018 CASE Social Media and Community Conference in New Orleans, I got the opportunity to organize and speak on a panel all about podcasting in higher education. I was joined by fellow podcasters Tim Cigelske, Jackie Vetrano, Stephen App, Chris Barrows, where we share our podcasting journeys and perspectives. From figuring out how to start a podcast to how to promote it and grow your audience. Each panelist brings a unique set of experiences to their shows and this conversation and it’s a great cross-section of institution-based, faculty-driven, and personal podcasts.

This year I served on the faculty team of the 2018 CASE Social Media and Community Conference in New Orleans. I quickly reached out Dillard University President, Walter M. Kimbrough to invite him to be part of the conference for a coffee talk interview. In this episode, you’ll catch the recording of this session, where we chat about how his presidency has grown up alongside social media, how to control your narrative, and why and how college presidents should speak out about what matters to them the most.

The presidency in higher education can be personal, which is exactly why I invited on not only the president of Washington State Kirk Schulz but also the first lady Noel Schulz, who also serves as an engineering professor. This first family talks about how the role university president has drastically changed related to social media and public presence - which for them even include their grown children and corgi puppies. In this episode, we get the unique opportunity to learn not just from two campus leaders who are active on-campus and online, but a dual career couple and their philosophy of a team-based approach to marriage and career trajectories.

He’s been called a provocateur, top diversity scholar, accomplished author, international speaker, and even “fun-sized.” But despite the various titles Terrell Lamont Strayhorn, focuses on the importance of belonging, especially in higher education spaces to meet his objective to #DoGoodWork. Terrell and I discuss the hidden curriculum of higher ed, Terrell’s educational and speaking philosophy, and how universities can and are working to develop students’ sense of belonging.
