Social Media User's Guide for March
March 4, 2016
No editorial calendar is complete without a list of both real and obscure holidays and celebrations. These occasions offer a fun way to connect with your audience on social media channels. February's list includes cultural, presidential, and scholarly (read: geek chic) milestones. And remember: March is Women's History Month.
- Friday, March 4: March Forth and Do Something Day

TIP: In addition to these ideas, I suggest asking professors about any important dates relevant to their fields and specific expertise. They may be able to "guest comment" on these happenings via your social posts.
