Kudos to my entire department, Gary S. May and everyone UC Davis for this recognition from CASE from our peers for our creativity and impact #CircleOfExcellence ucdavis.edu/news/social-me…

Simply the BEST part of this job!

Dear Jay Acunzo and parents of small children everywhere... this is for you: mcsweeneys.net/articles/my-fa…

We’re outshining the rest by coming in at No. 2 among the nation’s public schools (and No. 11 overall) in the recently released Washington @Monthly rankings! Details: ucdavis.edu/news/uc-davis-… #UCDavisGrown | #GoAgs

Big news for UC Davis, for our students and for our state!

Who better to update your job description than you? Love this article from Jenny Li Fowler about how social media managers must take ownership of shaping their own jobs descriptions and how that action can shape the profession for everyone after you.

Build time for rest, social media folks. You can and the company won’t perish, I promise, while you do.

What amazing news!! @dustyweis and the whole team at Lead Ballon are outstanding at what they do and deserve the recognition. Proud to be a small part of this episode talking about mental health and social media professionals. 💜

Thank you Cassandra Pye for sharing your humanity and inspiring the communications community UC Davis! I think we all needed a little of that inspo 💙💛💙 (“#9 And the Oscar goes to…” was just what I needed to be reminded of today)

Fun fact - this was actually Gary S. May ‘s original idea to film. The team UC Davis did an outstanding job making it happen that was fun and real. This is what engaged and authentic leadership looks like.

I seek small joys at work to keep me positive. Those include: - Announcing unexpected snacks to the team - Surprising a colleague with something thoughtful - Sharing positive and detailed feedback beyond "good job" - Canceling certain meetings and moving updates to email😁

Coming back to my own thread as I prepare the hiring process for a social media position...and dang these still ring true 2 years later!

When your work is appreciated and valued from leadership 🤩

📢We are hiring for our amazing Social Media team UC Davis! Looking for someone who wants to be at the bleeding edge of of the profession working with GenZ and admissions. It's where all the fun really creative work is! (Job ID #54349) hr.ucdavis.edu/careers/

Met the LEGEND herself! So lucky to have spent time with you, Liz Gross (she/her) and thank you for the inspired conversation!

I love this, and the students who made it, so much!

“In that sense, we’re probably better off if the stranglehold that social media has on the creative industries is loosened. Twitter ought to be for posting. Our hireability—and our personal brands—should be a separate matter entirely.”

I feel this in my bones but working in the bureaucracy and the structures, and the death by committee that is #HigherEd. tiktok.com/t/ZT8Ljc18w/

I’m not on here much these days, but I’ll make an exception to thank my good friend and supporter Jenny Li Fowler for the nudge to talk openly about the next phase of work after social media. We got vulnerable and real!
