Snapchat is one of the fastest growing Social Media apps used worldwide and the use on college campuses is spreading as well. It’s a unique way to tell your University’s story on and off the playing field. This month’s webinar will feature a video component, so we can see the presenters via webcam show us on their smart phones how to utilize Snapchat. They will also share examples of their “Stories” on the app. We have three presenters that do a fantastic job promoting their athletics programs via Snapchat.
If you are unfamiliar with the app Snapchat, you won’t want to miss this months video webinar!
The NAIA-SIDA Board is interested in receiving topic ideas and host for the 2016-17 academic year. If you are interested in hosting a webinar or have ideas for topics, please contact NAIA-SIDA Board member Tyler Price of Baker University (Kan.) at 913-645-4111 or
