15: Matt Nazario-Miller & Social Media Marketing in Student Affairs

Matt Nazario-Miller is a fantastic human being who has turned his loves of the marketing world and student affairs into a full-time gig by becoming the Social Media Specialist at UC Davis for their office of Student Affairs Marketing Communications. As someone who did a graduate thesis on student engagement through social media, I was eager to chat with Matt about the topic of social media because even I have a bunch to learn.

This is one of the most focused conversations of the podcast so far - with great reason, because it's important to focus on how to truly engage students through social media. Plain and simply, it isn't easy - but there are some great tips and suggestions discussed throughout this chat if you are making changes to your approach to social. We also get into it about the perceptions of millennial professionals in student affairs - and in the world, in general.

- He also turned me onto the new show, "Gaycation," which stars Ellen Page, so I really need to start watching this one!

- Matt, like the rest of the world, is obsessed with the new Paramore album, "After Laughter," so if you've slept on it, you really gotta remedy that.
