Though a discussion led by event speakers Tim Massie, Mark Van Dyke, Kent Rinehart, Alyssa Bronander, Luke Shane, and event coordinator Marissa DeAngelis, the nearly three dozen attendees actively contributed their social media knowledge, ideas, and concerns. The success of the event, and the passionate nature of social media savvy students and staff was recognized by attendee Chris Cornell, Social Media Columnist at The Examiner.
"To say I was impressed would be a huge understatement," Cornell writes. "That’s the kind of thinking that is going to insure that Marist will reap big rewards from its [social media] efforts."
Plans are underway for a second TweetUp event to occur in the Fall 2011 semester. Invitations will be extend to the surrounding Hudson Valley community and Marist Alumni Network.
