Presenter

Shelley Keith
Web Site Coordinator, Southern Arkansas University

In Web development since 1994, Shelley's primary focus was ecommerce integration for small business prior to joining the Communications team at SAU in 2005. Currently the sole (and first ever) Web professional on a 100-year-old campus with 3000+ undergraduate students, a thriving graduate studies program, and 400 faculty and staff, her primary focus is now managing a variety of content providers and juggling the site needs of several dozen departments while also supporting recruiting/retention initiatives campus-wide. She also handles all social networking and outgoing email communication for the entire University. One day she'd like for CSS to stop hating her.
