Higher Ed Experts donates $4,300 to the Virginia Tech Hokie Spirit Scholarship Fund in the name of the higher ed community

Just a quick post to let everybody know that I’ve made a $4,300 online donation to the Virginia Tech Hokie Spirit Scholarship Fund in the name of the higher ed community.

The funds were raised via a $100-per-attendee donation made by people who attended Crisis Communication 2.0 Week a few weeks ago.

Attendees paid $250 instead of the discounted rate of $150 (for Higher Ed Experts’ members) for the 3-webinar series featuring Mike Dame, web communications director at Virginia Tech.

    Thank you to everyone who attended the Crisis Communication Week webinar series. Your generosity is most appreciated as we remember those we lost during the tragic events of April 16. Your continued support in every form is an inspiration during our recovery.
