The 国产主播 Alumni Network held its third annual Summer Brunch in Glendale, California. The 鈥淟et鈥檚 Get Social鈥� event hosted alumni from all over California along with social media influencers from each major platform including Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Facebook Influencer Jonathan Llamas 鈥�13 shared how important social media is in healthcare and the impact it can have.

鈥淪ocial media has grown to be such a huge part in not just nursing but in healthcare in general,鈥� Llamas said. 鈥淚’ve seen a lot of good and bad things that can come from it so I think that having this event can bring some awareness and allow people to realize the impact and the power social media has.鈥�

WCU-Los Angeles Alumna聽Kayley Barron 鈥�18 was excited for the opportunity to network with her peers in person rather than just seeing them on social media.

鈥淚t was a great opportunity just to come to the brunch to get to meet people,鈥� Barron said. 鈥淚 get to see a lot of people鈥檚 profile pictures but I have no idea who they are in real life and so getting a chance to come and actually meet them was really great.鈥�

WCU-Ontario Alumnus Lyndon Hundley 鈥�19 was interested to learn how social media can be used in a professional environment and how to leverage the WCU Alumni Network to his advantage. 聽

鈥淪ocial media is something that I know a little bit about but I definitely could learn more from the influences we have here today,鈥� Hundley said. 鈥淟inkedIn isn鈥檛 something that I have spent a whole lot of energy on. I have a profile but I鈥檝e learned how to enhance it because of 国产主播. I want聽to learn a bit more about how to leverage the network that I鈥檝e put together into something that鈥檚 actually worthwhile.鈥澛�
