We listen and we don’t judge: A social media unplugged panel

We listen and we don’t judge.

We are bringing together familiar PSEWeb faces who have contributed to the social media conversation over the years and harness their brainpower (along with yours) to hopefully move the needle for all us and maybe revolutionize how we do social in higher ed.

Bring your raw, honest, unfiltered questions and musing and let’s have a conversation about everything we as social media professionals are facing in social media in 2025.
