#UMDsocial is a day of learning, networking and sharing best practices to help UMD staff and faculty broaden their social media skills and increase collaboration with their colleagues. More than 150 people attend annually, including colleagues from University System of Maryland and Big Ten institutions. In 2020, #UMDsocial went virtual for a fast-paced half-day event featuring keynote speaker Ellen Doepke, director of social media at Michigan State University.
