As the business evolves, you need to constantly keep up to date and informed of new best practices for topics such as OER, analytics, Inclusive Access, affordability, accessibility, and, most importantly, messaging the power of digital to faculty, administration, students, and parents.

Author Breakfast
Jerry Nelson-Dear County Agent Guy and other works @ Phillips Gathering Place @ Josiah’s- Downtown Sioux Falls 104 W 12th St In the tradition of Mark Twain and Jean Shepherd, Dave Barry and Garrison Keillor, Jerry Nelson is a humorist whose beat is the American heartland, a small-town world of pickup trucks and Sunday night pancake dinners, dropping in on neighbors and complaining about the county agent. His depictions of daily life, from the point of view of an ex-dairy farmer and taciturn husband with a twinkle in his eye, are read by 250,000 people a week—and occasionally woven into Prairie Home Companion scripts. These are stories of courtship; childbirth—he offers the delivery room doctor the use of his calf puller; family; neighbors; chores; and the duties of a father—why is it that a man who spends his days in cow manure can’t change a baby’s diaper? Knee-slappingly funny one moment, poignant the next, it’s a very special look at a distinctly American way of life. Simple Social Media Strategy That Works- David Kampmann, Social Media Instructor/Consultant in Training & Management, Leadership Development, & Social Media Development.
Summary: You know that your bookstore should be on social media. But Where, How, and What? We will go through how to develop and implement a simple social media strategy that will be effective in engaging with your students, faculty, staff, and alumni. You will be able to identify what is working to increase sales and what you can do to change what isn’t. And how to do this without having to overburden your staff and have to spend all day on social media. This literally is the secret social media recipe. Lunch- Josiah’s Coffeehouse
