We hosted the second monthly communicator story meeting on Thursday and it was a productive one. Following up on our initial meeting, I shared a presentation on University Communications platforms and publications. Our hope is that the presentation can help build better understanding of our work and help communicators identify ways their content may augment, supplement or contribute to ours. If you were unable to attend the meeting, you can view the presentation here: EdCommPubs.
After the presentation, we had a great discussion about an upcoming story project focusing on the many ways that Ohio State supports military veterans. This is tentatively scheduled to be a magazine cover piece in the January 2015 edition, and we’re in the process of developing ways to tell this story on all of our platforms. The feedback and ideas we received were excellent and gave us plenty to consider as story plans come together. You can take a look at meeting notes here: UC Story Meeting 04.17.14
Our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 15. At that meeting we’ll spend most of our story discussion time talking about the many ways Ohio State is making strides in the fight against cancer. While The James is certainly leading the fight, I know that a number of colleges and units have had breakthroughs that are adding to Ohio State’s role as a leader in that battle. Please bring ideas if you have them.
