What Do I Say? Content Ideas for Your Social Media Channels
It bears repeating, content is king. If you are just getting started with a social media channel, it can be daunting to figure out what to say. Even those of us who have been doing this for a while experience an occasional dry spell or suffer through good, old-fashioned writer's block. Whether you are a newbie or a seasoned pro, coming up with good stuff to use on your institution's social media channels is sometimes challenging. This session will present some suggestions.

Speaker: Susan Evans, Senior Strategist, mStoner

Succeeding With Social Media
During this session, we'll look at what we learned in our third year of conducting the CASE/mStoner/Slover Linett survey on social media in advancement. What's changed-and what has stayed the same? How have schools, colleges and universities responded to external demands for more engaging social channels? How have staffing, management and policies shifted internally to keep up with these needs? Explore these and other findings. This year, we focused more sharply on success, probing on particular tools, practices and tactics of social media that help institutions to achieve successful outcomes. We'll look at what our data reveals about the characteristics of successful campaigns and institutions on social media.

Speakers: Bill Hayward, Vice President for Higher Education, Slover Linett Strategies; Michael Stoner, President, mStoner

Connect Your Own Dots: Social Media Integration as a Best Practice for Marketing and Communications
Your audiences experience your brand and hear from you through a long list of social media and non-social media channels, and you shouldn't expect them to connect the dots. You need to develop an institutional plan that will allow you to stay on message across multiple communication channels using everything from social media aggregators to editorial calendars to social media campaigns. Not only that, a social media strategy isolated from your broader communication strategy is a risk. We'll share specifics and demonstrate best practices through case studies from educational institutions.

Speakers: Susan Evans, Senior Strategist, mStoner; Nyleva Corley, Web and Social Media Manager, University of Texas at Austin

Plan Now, So You Don't Panic Later: How to Make Social Media Work for Crisis Communications
Social media are unequivocally proven as powerful communication tools, but what about during times of crisis? Do the rules of social media engagement change when an emergency strikes? In this session, we'll view social media and crisis communications through the lens of the Sept. 28, 2010, shooting incident at the University of Texas at Austin. Social media, along with channels such as web, text alerts, email and sirens, were used to inform the campus and local community of the emergency situation. We'll explore the successes and challenges experienced while communicating during the campus lockdown and discuss the tools and channels, roles and responsibilities, the communication time line, technology considerations, the community response and lessons learned.

Speaker: Nyleva Corley, Web and Social Media Manager, University of Texas at Austin
