Crisis Communications: The Virginia Tech Response (Educause)

Liberally paraphrasing the great American war general Dwight Eisenhower, in war, planning is everything; in battle, plans go out the window. Effective crisis communications demand significant planning. Once you’re in a crisis event, instinctive reaction and reliance on experience take over. This session will help listeners understand Virginia Tech’s crisis communications response to a tragedy for which no one can prepare.

  1. Eurozone in Crisis: Reform or Exit (Presentations)

    ?The event will explore themes from the widely read RMF report ‘Eurozone in Crisis: Beggar Thyself and Thy Neighbour’. It will also contribute to the debate on the social, political and economic aspects of the Eurozone crisis that was launched by the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities. Since the start of 2010 the Eurozone crisis has become progressively deeper, threatening the existence of the euro as well as the coherence of the European Union. The crisis poses questions of economic malfunctioning and austerity policies imposed on several European countries, but also of democracy and state relations within the European Union. The roundtable will consider these issues from a variety of radical perspectives." http://www.researchonmoneyandfinance.org/events/
