 In the midst of a global crisis (or two), an intense lead-up to the U.S. presidential election demands for racial justice, and ever-dwindling resources on many college campuses, you might be tempted to tune out your social media channels. But this is when we really need your leadership. Do not go dark. But I don’t mean filling your feed with canned campus announcements and promotions. This shorty episode explains (with lots of examples!) the Eight Types of Meaningful Content higher ed digital leaders are posting right now. Not only are they sharing authentic messages, but they are also effectively building trust and community across channels. And you can do it too!

Eight Types of Meaningful Content for Campus Leaders

Michael Sorrell is in a constant process of evolution - and he’s doing it before our eyes, on social media, and on campus. He leads the impressively innovative Paul Quinn College, a once-struggling school that is now a model of urban revival. Michael is so optimistic about the future – despite the pandemic – that he expects Paul Quinn College will be even better off on the other side of the crisis. During this episode, Michael reminds us to confidently chart our own path, be willing to make mistakes and keep going when we stumble, and tell our own story. That’s how we learn. That’s how we evolve.

What is your Why for Leading Online?

How are we teaching higher ed/student affairs graduate and doctoral students about technology - and especially social media strategy in higher ed? I’ve been teaching a summer graduate course called Technology in Higher Education at Florida State University for several years - one of the very few (if any) courses of its kind. Every semester I invite higher ed leaders, practitioners, and scholars to be part of the course - like these five forward-thinking pros who joined us in July 2020: La'Tonya Rease Miles, Julie Payne-Kirchmeier, Joe Sabado, TJ Logan, and Jennielle Strother. As one of the panelists put it, COVID-19 is less of a change-maker than an accelerator. You’ll hear how much the pandemic influences their perspective on challenges in the field, and their predictions for the future of technology in higher education.

Jenny Li Fowler // Leave the Internet Better Than You Found It

 Humans are hardwired to connect with others. With social media we can engage authentically, build community, and foster belonging. That is, if we prioritize People and Purpose before Platforms. Otherwise, social media is just busywork. This episode provides a Purposeful Digital Engagement Model that will help you form deeper relationships with the students you serve – and anyone else you invite into your digital communities.

Purposeful Digital Student Engagement

I’ve been connecting with campus leaders who, even before COVID-19, have embraced social media and a variety of other digital communication tools in my Leading Online webinar series. In this episode (recorded the first week of June 2020), four Vice Presidents for Student Affairs provide insight on how digital storytelling can connect and transform communities. Mayra Olivares-Urueta, Mordecai I. Brownlee, Mary Jo Gonzales, and Tim Miller are actively engaging on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. In times of crisis, they warn against being performative to instead take real action for change.  For all notes to the show head to https://www.josieahlquist.com/podcast/campus-leaders-as-digital-storytellers/ Connect with Josie Twitter: https://twitter.com/josieahlquist Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/JosieATPodcast LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/josieahlquist/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/josieahlquist/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/DrJosieAhlquist/ Email: josie@josieahlquist.com Website: www.josieahlquist.com

Ashley Budd // Decoding Advancement

Even without social media, serving in an executive position in higher education has become extremely taxing. Add on social media and sustainability gets even more strained. While vast opportunities and excitement exist to get a campus president or Dean on Twitter or even TikTok - the question must be asked, is it sustainable? In this shorty episode, I offer a simple and even soulful approach that will require something that most campus senior leaders are overdue for a social media strategy. This strategy will be fueled using a discernment process I created for digital leaders. Listen in to reflect on your own presence and/or the executives you are trying to support on your campus.  For all show notes and access to the digital tracking spreadsheet exercise, head to: www.josieahlquist.com/podcast/socialmediasustainable/ Worksheet: Discernment Process for Digital Leaders Worksheet: Simple & Sustainable Strategy Recipe Connect with Josie Twitter: https://twitter.com/josieahlquist Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/JosieATPodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josieahlquist/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josieahlquist/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJosieAhlquist/ Email: josie@josieahlquist.com Website: www.josieahlquist.com

Mordecai I. Brownlee // It's Dr. Mordecai

Halloween is definitely not at the top of my “favorite holiday” list. To be honest, I’m just a huge scaredy-cat! But one thing I am not afraid of is destigmatizing the negative perceptions of tech, digital platforms, and social media. College students today have been haunted by the “new” age tale that social media is the Boogeyman under your bed, ready to spook away any job prospects or future opportunities. I’m calling bluff! In this Halloween spirited episode, I’m saying bye to this fear tactic and hello to a digital leadership curriculum that is values-based and rooted in authenticity - which is not creepy at all.  For all show notes and access to the digital tracking spreadsheet exercise, head to: http://www.josieahlquist.com/podcast/spookysocialmediaeducation Connect with Josie Twitter: https://twitter.com/josieahlquist Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/JosieATPodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josieahlquist/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josieahlquist/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJosieAhlquist/ Email: josie@josieahlquist.com Website: www.josieahlquist.com
