We're still thinking about Dr. Natalie Pennington's (from Colorado State University) impactful talk about social media's impact on friendships at last week's K-State Social Media Week event. One student commented that they found the event "very insightful and validating, especially how it reflected the ways social media has taken over friendships in my generation. While there are parts of social media that are not perfect, Dr. Pennington highlighted many positive impacts and helped me better appreciate the role social media can play."
