College Students and Social Media Branding

Speakers: Jennifer Carr and Jessica Funcannon

Description of session: This speaker session will be discussing how students can use social media to boost their careers. If you’re a Generation X-er or older, you likely use social media to cut it in the real world. You may also use social networks for personal reasons, but it’s always with the understanding that you’re a professional. But newer generations of college graduates began their social media experience as a very personal one. And the shift to using social media for career development may seem optional. But it’s a necessary evil at the very least, and can actually be quite beneficial to your future at the very best. Jennifer and Jessica will discuss a few things students should consider when starting to use social media professionally and effectively.
