Becoming President in the Age of 140 Characters or LessSanta Ono, President, University of Cincinnati
Imperial Ballroom
University of Cincinnati President Santa J. Ono, PhD, discusses his open and social leadership style which is transforming the way his university operates. According to Jeff Neff of Ad Age, Dr. Ono is “perhaps the best chief-exec Tweeter I’ve seen yet…relevant…sincere, often funny.” President Ono will dive into how he has harnessed the power of social technologies to become more “open”—transparent, more engaging, authentic and innovative. Ono talks about how his open strategy involves a four-step process: Learning, Conversation, Support, and Innovation.He will also explore why social technology is so important to the way a university and its president communicate and how one hashtag, #HottestCollegeinAmerica, has made a dramatic impact on the university, both internally and externally.

You know who you are. You’re resilient, passionate, curious, smar t. You see the bigger picture and stand up for change.
From Creosote’s beginning, we’ve rebelled against the business-as-usual approach to marketing and branding in education. We stand f irmly at the crossroads of creative storytelling and technology—developing more ef fective branding strategies at a better price.
So come on. Rebel. Innovate at a time when demographic data and economic reality demand it. Change. Create the greatest oppor tunities for a successful and sustainable future.
Defy the conventions that no longer have relevance in our market.

While a great annual plan is essential to every educational strategy, Ken will show you how flexibility and an intentional adaptation of today’s student and current web technology can meet for great success. You will be taken on a journey through todays rapidly changing landscape, and will see best practice implementations to engage your potential and existing students, as well as alumni and the business community.
