The Resume is Dead - Building Brand YOU
Wednesday, May 11 Location TBA
We are an Ohio State University student organization. Our interest is in social media, such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, and how it can be used to advance our futures both personally and professionally. We organize meetings and events for students to learn from local professionals involved in social media. SMS is open to everyone to join, both student and non-student alike!
A big THANK YOU to:
The Social Media Society does not hold meetings during the summer — have a great break!
We would like to introduce the beginning of some changes within SMS. The first involves a name change that better encompasses our future goals and mission statement as an organization.
We proudly present, the Digital Media Society!
Stay tuned for more.

But here’s the good news. These conversation tools also give savvy users the power to stand out from the competition. The choice is yours. If you fail to use them to join the conversation online, you will stay invisible.
In this session, social business consultant and blogger, Nate Riggs will lead you through high-level strategic ideas that will teach you:
