Write Emails People Will Read
Day Kibilds - Western University
"No one reads emails anymore." If you hear this quote often—or if you say it—I have a big surprise for you. If no one is reading your emails: it is your fault.
I'll show you exactly how to write emails so that people not just read them, but also do what you want them to do. This applies to marketing emails you send to your audiences, internal emails to your colleagues, requests to your supervisor, etc.
We'll talk about from & subject lines, readability, formatting, links & buttons, and a useful test you can do on your own emails to guarantee you'll get your message across.

Reflecting Community vs. Creating It: A Shift to Digital Community Building Inspired by a Pandemic
Mackenzie Huber - Lawrence University
After a year of adapting our social media programs on the fly to address new community needs, it's worth reflecting on which practices we want to take with us into the future and which we want to leave behind.
After some trial and error, one practice I'll be incorporating into the Lawrence University social media strategy is intentional digital community building on our main university channels. We've tried new, simple concepts that have shifted our content from passively reflecting our community to actively creating new opportunities for connection and belonging. I'll share a few examples of ideas we've tried and how they went.
