Editor's Notes
Eric Stoller was an academic advisor and through social media use has become a full-time consultant on utilizing social media in institutions of higher education.Peter Pereira is a staff member working with SACA in the LBJSC and someone on the conference committee had remembered a blog post Peter had posted on his blog that he liked and told the committee to pick him as a speaker. He is now having all his expenses paid for and is getting paid to speak at this conference, simply because of his blog!What both of these men have done is not hard, it’s just about using social media in the proper way to get the message out about who you are and what you are good at.
