As the voice of Western Carolina University, it was my responsibility to update the external publics (students, family members, prospective students, faculty and staff) of WCU news, including news around tornados/serious weather, student deaths, campus safety situations, etc. Facebook and Twitter were the main channel for updates during crisis situations, accompanied by messages/updates on the website.
