This week’s two-part episode of "Director Download" touches on best practices when it comes to using social media to connect with those around you both professionally and personally. In part one, Justin and Beth are joined by the social media coordinator at Houston Community College, Shar-day Campbell, who talks about how to make the case on campus for a social media strategy, and how Facebook and Twitter can be used by the financial aid office to make students feel less alone in their pursuit of higher education. For part of two of this episode, which begins at minute 29, we welcome back NASFAA’s legal counsel Julia Judish— who was previously featured on "A Hug or a Handshake"—to discuss the legal ramifications of posting online as a professional, and how social media policies and procedures may change by institution-type.
