BEVERLY – On Thursday, January 19, Endicott Sports Information Director Shawn Medeiros will serve as a panelist at the 2017 NCAA Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, and will provide insight on the following NCAA Menu Session – Social Media: Showcasing Student-Athlete Success. Medeiros will represent Division III, while Rob Carolla (Big 12 Conference) will represent Division I, and Marshall Fey (Northwest Missouri State University) will represent Division II.
“I’m excited to represent Endicott, and also Division III, at the NCAA Convention on January 19,” said Medeiros. “One of our strategic initiatives over the last two years under the guidance of Assistant Athletic Director for Strategic Communications, Rob Palardy, and the rest of our staff, has been to highlight what our student-athletes are doing outside of their respective competitive surfaces. This panel will be a fun way to showcase how we have gone about doing that, and also how we have helped our coaches in recruiting.”
The panel, Social Media: Showcasing Student-Athlete Success, will help connect the dots between identifying the good things happening on campus every day and turning them into relevant and engaging social media content. Using the NCAA’s Pathway to Opportunity as a guide, members will learn how to identify and capture content opportunities that reinforce three priorities: academics, well-being and fairness. Attendees will see real examples of effective content and hear from the member schools who put them together. The goal of the session is to teach administrators how to identify relevant content opportunities, not how to tweet or post them.
