[New Position] Executive Director of Digital and Social Media for Syracuse University

I’m happy to announce I’ve taken a position at Syracuse University as the Executive Director of Digital and Social Media, “responsible for the establishment and implementation of a comprehensive and cohesive plan to support and promote Syracuse University—and its core strategic messages—in digital outlets (including social media) while maintaining and further developing our growing online community.”

I’ll be working along the existing (and great) marketing and communications team in place, and leading the also great team of student community managers.

The social media “mechanism” is being centralized at SU, and I would be remiss if I didn’t give exceptional props to the iSchool, which began all initial efforts in social and digital media for the university under the leadership of Social Media (and Star Trek) Professor Anthony Rotolo and Community Manager Kelly Lux, and the support of Dean Liz Liddy.  They’ve put a lot of hard work into it, and have provided the university not only with a great infrastructure, but also a very vibrant social community.

I’ll remain as Chair of Other Side Group, which will continue operations, and I’ll also be keeping my positions as CMO of Girls in Tech and the Board of Meta-Activism Project.
