Presentation Description:

For today’s generation, connecting with students and making everyone feel welcome means staying authentic, building community, and celebrating cultural diversity right where they are—on social media. This session explores strategies Arizona State University's ISSC has used to cultivate a strong sense of community among its international students through social media. We'll discuss using student workers and volunteers to create relatable and authentic student-centric content and how your office can benefit from increased social media exposure.

  • Learn the benefits of investing into social media for your office and strategies to start building your own team, regardless of budget.
