About the Episode
The challenges of managing social media in higher education are often underestimated by people in leadership, leaving these talented, always-on professionals facing often overwhelming responsibilities while being under-resourced and undervalued. On top of that are the known mental health impacts of spending significant time on social platforms. As a result, social media managers often struggle with mental health issues that can impact both their personal and professional lives. In this episode, Jaime talks with Allie Kuenzi, Social Media Director at UNC Charlotte, about her graduate research into the impact these roles have on the mental health of these practitioners. This episode will provide listeners with:
- Insights into why social media managers often struggle with mental health issues
- A better understanding of the scope and scale of the problem
- Ideas for leaders who want to better support their social media teams
- Tips for social media managers on raising their concerns to their leadership
- Ways higher ed can do better in this space overall
