#EMchat 36′s topic was about using Twitter to recruit. MOD, Jillian (@jhiscock) did a great job, and our guests were, once again, on point! Travis Brock and Stephen Biernacki from @EMGonline (http:www.EMGonline.com) joined us for a third chat, and their input was so helpful.
Tweet of the Night:
Tonight’s TOTN goes to Cammy H (@2lead2day), for her answer to Q4 – How responsive are prospective students to your tweets? How responsive are you to theirs?
#emchat Q4 - you get what you give I think - if you provide excellent resources and quick replies this will feed the connection
