Keeping Your Reputation in the Internet Age: Professional Reputation Management
Presenter: Jim Porto, School of Public Health
When: Friday, November 6, 2009
Where: Toy Lounge, Dey Hall
Books and articles you've written, presentations you've made, your participation in meetings: these are some of the things professional reputations have been built around in the past. How has the Internet changed your ability to know your own professional reputation and what can you do to identify and manage the information about you that might be harming your reputation? Are there ways you can
use positive aspects of the Internet to strengthen your reputation? How can you mitigate negative references to you? How do you find references to yourself to even start the process? How can you help your students start monitoring their own reputations early in their careers?
Jim Porto is director of the Executive Master's Program and executive director of the Community Preparedness and Disaster Management Program in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. His current interests include helping faculty manage their reputations given the wealth of online information that is "out there." Join Jim and your colleagues to learn more.
