Auxiliary Services marketing professionals face unique problems when developing social media strategy because of limited resources (time, people, and money), wide varieties of programs to communicate about, and the limited geography of the market segment. On top of that people use social media platforms in different ways and for different needs.

A comprehensive strategy entails, and these are the critical points of the presentation:

• Encouraging collaboration - consolidating stakeholders toward a common goal.
• Identifying specific goals for specific channels - understanding how target markets use different social media platforms and tailoring goals to that end.
• Creating federations - centralized federations for passive communications and decentralized federations for active conversations.

Why are spaces on campus inherently not inclusive? What do we do about it? During this conversation we will explore why it is important to have inclusive practices in campus auxiliary services, how we can recognize exclusionary spaces and common microaggressions, and what we can do about it. Participants will leave with tangible tools for recognizing and disrupting common stereotypes and microaggressions, and an appreciation for why it is important to facilitate inclusive spaces on campus.

Dr. Victoria Farris is the founder of Farris Consulting where she serves as a consultant, trainer, speaker, and coach working to support equity and inclusion in higher education. With over a dozen years of experience supporting students’ learning outside of the classroom, Victoria has served as both an associate dean of students and dean for residence life. Victoria is committed to disrupting systemic racism by supporting higher education institutions, and professionals, in cultivating more inclusive campus environments so that all students, staff, and faculty can thrive.

At its core, empathy is an awareness - when practiced, it’s an understanding. How do you adopt empathy as a daily practice and apply it in the workplace? Even further, how does this process weave its way into your leadership style and impact your management? In a small group setting, join the conversation on how to address team challenges through empathy.

This Virtual Roundtable will have limited space available so that conversation can remain intimate and give you the space to actively listen and also ask questions. Brief pre-roundtable materials will be provided prior to the call to prepare for the discussion. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to submit questions ahead of time so come prepared to talk!
