About the Summit

At University Relations, we wanted to bring you some of the best information on social media anywhere. So we planned a May 26 Summit at University Park, where you can learn from top practitioners and thinkers.

Lt. Lesley Lykins and Jessica Faller join us from the U.S. Department of the Navy, which has earned a top ranking on its use of social media from the L2 Digital IQ Index for the public sector. The Navy faces many of the challenges we do, but on a grander scale — large, geographically dispersed populations who at times must act and speak as one.

Danielle Brigida of the National Wildlife Federation pioneered social media in her organization, engaging NWF members with blogs, Facebook pages and Twitter. She's shared her social media experience with news outlets such as USA Today, The Washington Post and Mashable. Brigida will share her extensive knowledge of social media — what works and what doesn't.

Post your comments about the sessions here so we know where to tweak things for our next summit.
