Cazenovia — Cazenovia College will host its annual Media Studies Symposium from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the McDonald Lecture Hall located in the Eckel Science Building at 37 Lincklaen Street. The symposium, “Like for Like: Managing Your Own Social Media,” will explore how young people can successfully navigate the sometimes hidden forces that give social media such a powerful role in their lives.
Conceived and developed by Associate Lecturer Paul Riede’s media management class, the event will begin with the 54-minute Frontline documentary, “Generation Like,” which addresses the question, “What happens when the traditional teenage quest for identity and connection occurs online?” The film will be followed by a panel discussion expanding upon the topic of social media’s pervasive impact on young people.
The panelists include:
•Corey Liberman, professor of communications at Marymount Manhattan College. He is coauthor of “Organizational Communication: Strategies for Success,” and editor of “Casing Persuasive Communication.”
•Catherine Waite Phelan, professor of communications at Hamilton College. Her most recent publication is “The Digital Evolution of an American Identity.”
•Carrie Luber, vice president of Messenger Associates, a Manlius-based career management and HR consulting firm. She develops and delivers social media coaching to both individuals and organizations.
•Laurie Selleck, professor of visual communications and visual communications program director at Cazenovia College.
The symposium is free and open to the public, and the panel discussion will be live-streamed at livestream.com/cazenoviacollege/MediaSymposium2015. The event can also be followed at #CazMediaManaged.
