Earlier this week, Kara was invited to sit on a panel and present her strategies and tactics for the J-School Instagram account to a group of communicators within the College of Letters & Science. Her presentation focused on the emphasis of "places, faces and happenings of the J-School" on Instagram as well as how to determine when to post to the main feed and when to use stories. Way to go, Kara!
