Happy Tumblr Tuesday, Region VI! 

This week, we want to highlight some great use of technology and social media from the "Rise Above the Competition, Navigating the Job Search" Southern California Drive-In Conference hosted by Chapman University. Attendees were able to communicate with the whole Southern California executive board and conference planning committee to provide live feedback through text and a simple code! "Naspa6RiseAbove" was also the official hashtag for the weekend. To follow the conversation now, you can search "Naspa6RiseAbove" or follow @naspa6's Twitter feed! Did your Twitter handle make it on our wordle above?!

If you're not on Twitter, join with the help of our Twitter tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZHj_jeOk0M
