Just a quick post to let everybody know that Joe Hice, Associate VP for Marketing and Public Relations at The University of Florida gave a great presentation today to kick off “Crisis Communication 2.0 Week,” the first webinar series offered by Higher Ed Experts.
Close to a hundred people were in attendance as several participants registered for groups (that’s why HEE charges per connection and not per attendee) and everything went smoothly on the technical side of things with WebEx, my new web conferencing provider (I thought I should share the good news… as I did share the bad news a few days ago)
Joe even shared a very useful list of emergency notification vendors compiled by his staff after the Virginia Tech Tragedy. The PDF version of this list is available (in the forum) to registered HEE members (If you work for a university or a college, you can become a member for free at www.higheredexperts.com/register).
Joe’s webinar was just the beginning. The series will continue tomorrow (Wednesday) with UMR Andrew Careaga’s presentation followed by Virginia Tech Mike Dame’s session on Thursday.
Registrations are closed, but the recordings of all sessions will be available for purchase next week. Just email me at karine@higheredexperts.com if you want to be notified when they become available.
