14. Alaina Wiens, social media specialist at the University of Michigan-Flint. • “With all the changes higher ed is experiencing, a lot of people are stubbornly territorial about what they’ve always done, and stressed out by all the changes happening,” she says. “We’ve got to get past that.” http://link.highedweb.org/2014/01/the-state-of-social-media-in-higher-ed/

15. Ashley Hennigan, assistant director of social media strategy for the Cornell University Alumni Association • “Social media and other innovative projects can provide incredible learning opportunities when they are placed outside of the typical institutional structure,” she says. “It’s here where we’ve learned to have a more ‘human voice,’ take risks, and learn from our smaller scale successes and failures.” http://link.highedweb.org/2014/01/the-state-of-social-media-in-higher-ed/

17.

20. Meg Bernier, assistant director of editorial services and social media at St. Lawrence University, • “I think some of the roadblocksI face are lack of education and in some instances,lack of the willingness to learn,” says Bernier. http://link.highedweb.org/2014/01/the-state-of-social-media-in-higher-ed/

32. Turn students into treasure hunters • The Facebook project allowed students to apply what they were learning in class. • Once they started looking for examples, they became treasure hunters.
