It’s reporting like this that frustrates me - when you leave gun regulation out of the headlines and conversation, you normalize the RAMPANT gun problem in this country and minimize discussion about sensible gun law as the real solution to gunned-down schoolchildren. #vcusmclass

Bleeding is the leading cause of death at a mass shooting, but one-third of victims can survive if treated within five minutes. The Stop the Bleed program is teaching students how to do it.

NBC News' @DrJohnTorres reports.

Right-wing extremist terrorism in the US barely gets ANY media coverage even though it kills far more people than left-wing or Islamic terrorism (itself right-wing extremism, but treated differently). As communicators, we cannot allow this to continue! #vcusmclass

For many in my generation, feeling trapped by situation, voting is our voice and our power, and our only hope to change the world for the better.

Interesting article from @CrenshawComm (not our own @judicrenshaw!) about ways PR is using @Snapchat, along with examples - like a great partnership between LeBron James and McDonald's on Snap! https://t.co/1tTKjkuRP8 #evolvingsocialmedia #vcusmclass

A big thanks to @PRSARVA for throwing a phenomenal luncheon with @NASA_Langley! It was a great chance to learn about NASA social media, and once I've beefed up my accounts, I definitely intend to apply for a NASA Social! https://t.co/OirL1n9NaE #vcusmclass

Should you use @LinkedIn? Ehhhh, according to this article from @HuffPost that compiles a slew of Tweets from different people about what they like and don't like on the platform. You get what you give on LinkedIn #vcusmclass

Should students use @LinkedIn? Heck yes, according to this article from @UndercoverRec! With connections galore - to information, job postings, and most importantly, other professionals - they call LinkedIn the place to be. #vcusmclass

[Nick Atanasio @NickRFAtanasio]

Huge thank you to @ChristinaMDick for coming into our class to give a #fabulous instagram assignment to compare and contrast orgs insta posts by creating our own pics in their style! My org was @NASA (1st picture) compared to @SpaceX (2nd) and @virgingalactic (3rd) #vcusmclass

@DEricWatson "The youth"? Oh goodness, it's always startling to remember that we're not the youngest ones in the adult world anymore - it was 4 years since I started college, and 8 since I started high school! #vcusmclass #TwitterScavengerHunt

A stark and depressing @IPCC_CH report - we have only 12 years to make unprecedented, sweeping changes to our CO2 emissions to avoid climate disaster.

3rd-world countries will be hardest hit. We MUST believe science, and we MUST change. #vcusmclass https://t.co/sexNXvufcP

A GOOD DOGGO spotted outside the VCU library. I love it when people bring their dogs to campus and let others pet them - very therapeutic and relaxing, a great way to improve moods during a hard semester! #Doggosforthegreatergood #vcusmclass #TwitterScavengerHunt

Without my connections through the @VCUarts #cinemaprogram, I wouldn't have been able to get an accounting job on #WW84 this summer! It was an incredible experience - and my start in the film industry! #vcusmclass #MakeItReal #TwitterScavengerHunt
