Currently I am sitting in the Myrtle Beach International Airport getting ready to embark on a quick trip. Pretty soon I will be on a plane that will take me to Nashville, Tennessee.

I am off to Music City USA to represent Coastal Carolina University at the CASE District III Awards Banquet. Our #CCU Keys to Success campaign is a finalist for the Social Media Strategy and Execution category and nothing would be sweeter than to take home the top honor.

The banquet will take place tomorrow night and it will honor the best of the best in higher education in the areas of alumni relations, communications, development, and marketing. During the day, I will have the privilege of attending the CASE District III Conference where I will sit in on sessions and keynotes to learn how I can become better at what I do. I will be surrounded by some of the best higher education professionals from the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

I have never visited Nashville before so I am excited to see a new place, even if it might just be from inside a resort. I am not counting on doing much besides the CASE activities because I will arrive later tonight and then leave on Wednesday morning. Regardless of the duration of the stay, I am extremely happy to have this opportunity.

Cross your fingers for a big victory for #CCUSocialMedia. Enjoy your week, everyone! Don’t Blink.
