I kicked off the new year by having a great conversation about community management with Hal Bleiweiss who, like me, is a Meta Certified Community Manager. We worked on the same team together at Meta and I was excited to be invited as a guest on his podcast.
Highlights from our fireside chat:
❓How I ended up working for Meta and what it’s like stepping onto its massive global campus in Menlo Park, CA and speaking on stage.
🆘 How I managed a university parent group when a student was arrested for having an assault rifle on campus - and how I continue to manage that group of nearly 30K parents today.
🎤 How I built a Facebook group for community managers of university parent groups. Nearly 700 members strong, this active community represents approximately 300 college parent groups across the US, Canada and UK with a subreach of more than 1M parents and growing. While UPGA represents a diverse cross section of colleges – public, private, ivy, community – members unite over shared experiences, including everything from helicopter parent discussions to support in times of crisis. Examples: a pandemic; a mental health crisis, yielding the highest rates ever on college campuses for anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation (Ref. The Mental Health Crisis on College Campuses: https://rb.gy/t2hl2t); and 13 deadly college campus shootings this year alone (https://rb.gy/lrpydl), several whose admin teams were supported in UPGA through these tragedies.
💭 A snapshot of how VR is changing the landscape for healthcare in terms of medical professionals and patient care.
