Smartphone, Smart TV, etablet, eReader, Apple, HP, Android, to name a few. Then there is Google, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, IM, Flicker, YouTube, Yelp, Pinterest, etc. – welcome to the world of social media.

Gone are the family dinner table discussions. In this workshop, you will define social media and identify its uses and audiences. On Thursday, June 16, from noon to 1 p.m. at Heer Hall, you can explore the latest disorder known as social media anxiety disorder, or SMAD, and discuss the role social media could have on one's self-image and relational skills. The presenter is Terri O'Reilly, Impact Solutions.
