Special Presentation: The Web and Crisis Communications
The Higher Education Web Professionals Association is pleased to invite you to attend a very special presentation, "The Tragedy at Virginia Tech: Crisis Communications on the Web," by Michael Dame, director of Web communications at Virginia Tech.
In April, 2007, an unthinkable tragedy occurred on the Virginia Tech campus. Mr. Dame will provide a detailed overview of Virginia Tech's reactions — including a website development timeline and details about resources devoted to the effort — and address issues concerning the Web, crisis communications and the challenges that face all institutions in the age of communication. A question-and-answer session will follow.
