Honorable Mentions

MeetContent: Content and Community in Higher Education
I was honored to be consulted for this piece by MeetContent, a powerhouse of a resource in the world of communication in higher ed.

Higher Ed Live: Commencement Coverage Roundtable
In this episode of Higher Ed Live, I joined four other panelists to discuss the joy of making Commencement a social experience. Server issues resulted in only 20 minutes of the show being saved, but this clip still has some good tidbits from a great group of higher ed folks.
