Inauguration of President Mike Williams
I was honored to serve on the Inauguration Committee for Dr. Michael Williams, the sixth president of Harding University in nearly a century. As part of the committee, I was part of the planning process for all the communication of promotion for the events itself, the digital elements of the ceremony, and the creation of the Harding History Tour. In addition to all the social media coverage and content, I also managed the mobile app module for the weekend of events and the digital program webpage on the University site, harding.edu/inauguration, which still exists as a documentation of the event.
