Does Your CEO Tweet?

Posted at 1:29 pm under leadership

K-State President SchulzYesterday was the fall kickoff at the K-State at Salina campus. I was pleased to see evidence of our school’s progress in social media. K-State at Salina is now on Twitter and on Facebook. I like to think, although I can’t back it up with any hard evidence, that my own involvement in Web 2.0 tools & talking about it around campus had a little bit to do with our moving forward in this area.

I was particularly impressed with K-State’s new president Kirk Schulz, who dropped by for a few minutes to welcome us back for the fall semester. He blogs. In fact, he blogs about K-State at Salina. We are really pleased to have a leader who acknowledges and values the good work we do in Salina.

President Schulz also tweets on Twitter and is on Facebook, easily making him the most Web 2.0 saavy CEO in the Big 12 Conference. Check out the contact pages for the various Big 12 presidents & chancellors listed below. Some give phone numbers or e-mail addresses, others don’t even give that much, preferring to use the US Postal Service for their correspondence.
