What Students are Saying

The Power of Community: An Introduction to Social Media
Instructor: Susan Barnes

“Having been a journalist for 10 years, I worked primarily in the print media and like everyone, I was skeptical of social media. However, this class has opened my eyes to how amazingly the new platform in social media enables community-building and action. As a social media manager for a small business, I am grateful and invigorated by the intelligent insights and discussions of Susan Barnes and an amazing group of people. I'll be attending the next class! Thank you!”
Trish Chan, Social Media Manager, Catherine Hall Studios
