Academics and Social Media: A Forum for Interdisciplinary Dialogue

Furthermore, Twitter has become an important platform for networking with others in the profession and learning about career and funding opportunities.  However, developing a social media presence can be a daunting task, particularly for graduate students early on in their career. This one-day Forum for Interdisciplinary Dialogue will allow graduate students at UVa an opportunity to learn from academics who have successfully used social media and to develop skills for starting or improving their social media presence.
