I love Patrick Love. The current Vice President of Student Affairs
at NYIT, Patrick has been a leader in higher education through
roles as a scholar, a speaker, and a disruptor. It is perhaps this
last quality that makes me appreciate Patrick the most. He is
constant striving to look at things in new ways and to try to push
others to reach out for excellence. Follow Patrick if you want a
unique and informed take on the higher education space.

@EdCabellon
If you’re reading this, you probably follow Ed already, but if you’re
not, do it right now. Ed was one of the early adopters of Twitter
and has an expertise in social media in higher education and in
college student union work. He’s also been the initiator of a
number of initiatives including #SAgrow, for undergraduates
interested in Student Affairs work, and SAtech Unconferences,
which have expanded beyond Boston to across the United States.
Definitely worth a follow.

@mi_good
If you want to follow someone who follows his heart and travels
the world, Michael Anthony Goodman is the perfect add for your
Follow Friday. Michael has a background in student affairs, but
recently left his job in Indiana to head to China. He is an incredibly
gifted writer who is able to give voice to inner thoughts in a
refreshing and entertaining way. If you’re looking for a little
inspiration, or something to think about, you can’t go wrong with
Michael’s blog. I often joke that reading one of his posts is like
having dessert.

@ACPAprez
Forget transferring a gavel, this is the 21st century. Now we
transfer Twitter accounts. The @ACPAprez account transfers from
President to President every year during the Annual Business
Meeting of ACPA-College Student Educators International. ACPA,
one of the comprehensive professional associations in student
affairs and higher education is an excellent account to follow, but
don’t forget to follow the President’s account as well.

about higher education, student affairs, web 2.0, LGBT issues and
general life inspirations and observations. He’s thoughtful, has
some great insights, and is also your “go to” if you want to see

out and give him a follow.

@LauraPasquini
Dr. Laura Pasquini has been a good friend of mine for a very long
time… since we worked at Miami University almost a decade ago.
Although we didn’t know it then, she and I share a research
interest in all things Ed-Tech. She’s incredibly knowledgeable,
travels the world, and maintains a blog where she shares it all.
Her doctoral dissertation was on Social Media policies of Higher
Education institutions. In many ways, Laura has been a trailblazer
in this area.
