Last November I blogged about an innovative social media campaign designed to build buzz for SmartCollegeVisit.com. In brief, the site – which is a great info resource for college-bound kids and their parents – worked with social media partner Handshake 2.0 to source and publish firsthand stories of college visits.
They invited me to participate, and I was
glad to do so, given that my eldest daughter was looking at schools at
the time (I am happy to report that she has since been admitted to BU,
my Alma Mater, and will be attending this fall). The story I wrote about our visit to
BU last year can be found here.
Well, SmartCollegeVisit.com is once again creatively applying social
media by hosting a Twitter chat this evening. I will be participating this time
as well (for those who are
new to Twitter chats, Kelly Queijo of SmartCollegeVisit.com has posted some helpful
tips for following along).
If you'd like to tune in, search for posts that include #campuschat. It will start at 9pm ET and run for an hour. A transcript will be provided afterward.
