JUNE 21, 2018 NSCC Launches Social Media Certificate Program One-year college program leads to hottest jobs in today’s economy Statistics show that this week, in a 25-mile radius of Danvers, there are, 2,067 jobs that require social media skills, with salaries starting at $40,000 and growing to $95,000. Job titles like ‘director of social media’ and ‘digital and social media manager’ at the Boston Globe, CBS Corporation, Dunkin Brands and Fidelity Investments have become common. Small and medium size companies often add social media requirements to existing marketing communications job descriptions. The number of higher education institutions offering courses in social media is growing but not fast enough to meet demand. North Shore Community College recognizes the education gap for traditional students coming out of high school and professionals in the workforce with no social media marketing experience. The college launched its first social media marketing strategy course in 2015. This fall, NSCC will offer Massachusetts’ first 30-credit social media marketing certificate program. Students completing the one-year (10-course) certificate will fill the employment gap in social media marketing jobs upon graduation. The NSCC Social Media Marketing Certificate uses the latest educational methodologies to provide theory and practice in the ever-evolving world of digital and social media marketing. The advanced marketing courses in this program all include critical industry certifications that social media agencies and businesses demand, such as Google Analytics, Hootsuite, Buffer, Facebook Blueprint and Google Adwords. Courses are updated continually to keep up with changing technologies and best practices. “I applaud our dedicated faculty and academic leaders for the foresight and initiative to develop this innovative program which positions NSCC as the Massachusetts state leader in this exploding field,” said Dr. Patricia A. Gentile, NSCC President. “The program is solid and cutting-edge. Its development, review, and approval has included input from experts from the college’s Marketing Program Advisory Board, non-NSCC affiliated faculty members, and industry leaders in the field, with final approval coming from the Massachusetts state Board of Higher Education.” Social Media Marketing Certificate courses include: Marketing, Advertising, Social Media Marketing Strategy, E-Marketing and Introduction to Business, Intro to Digital Photography, Integrated Design Principles, Electronic Imaging, Composition and Public Speaking. Financial aid is available for those needing assistance to complete the 10 courses. Professionals who have already completed A.S. or B.S. degrees can have applicable courses transferred to this program for credit. Students can begin the Social Media Marketing Certificate program and subsequently expand their academic credentials to earn an A.S. in Marketing or Graphic Design. For more information visit the NSCC website Social Media Marketing Certificate or contact Dianne McDermott Cerasuolo, NSCC faculty coordinator, at dmcdermo@northshore.edu or 978-394-5166.

OPEN ANY NEW CHECKING ACCOUNT AND YOU’LL RECEIVE FREE: • Mobile Banking with Check Deposit • Access to Allpoint® ATMs • Online Banking and Bill Pay StrombergBrand® Umbrella The Greenbelt Board of Directors has announced that Kate Bowditch, who has served in leadership positions at the Charles River Watershed Association for almost 25 years, will become President of Greenbelt, Essex County’s Land Trust. Bowditch, a published scientist and nationally-recognized expert in conservation, helped transform the Charles River from a heavily-polluted waterway to one of the cleanest urban rivers in the country. “We are excited to have Kate bring her considerable gifts and skills to the work of Greenbelt – conserving farmland, wildlife habitat and scenic landscapes across Essex County,” said Philip Lake, Greenbelt Board Chair. “The ‘Greenbelt culture’ is important to us” he added, “and the Search Committee worked long and well to find someone who would be a good fit in addition to bringing the requisite professional qualifications. Kate is that person.” In September, Bowditch will succeed Ed Becker, who built Greenbelt from a small, threeperson organization to a groundbreaking, national leader in land conservation with a talented staff of fourteen professionals. “I couldn’t be more excited about coming to Greenbelt,” said Bowditch. “I’m inspired by the people here, by the land and the water, and by the opportunity to work on critical conservation and stewardship projects across this diverse county.” Bowditch worked at the intersection of science and conservation at CRWA, leading efforts to improve the Charles River watershed and parklands in the 35 cities and towns through which it runs. She created CRWA’s Blue Cities Initiative, a planning approach that promotes the use of green infrastructure to restore natural hydrology to the urban environment. She has developed partnerships with Boston universities, and helped achieve success with complex projects such as the Charles River Gateway at the site of the old Medfield State Hospital. At different times, she led a team of six staff scientists, directed CRWA’s advocacy program, served as Director of Projects, Director Charcoal Companion® Non-stick square Grill Wok 800.657.3272 EBSB.com • Instant issue ATM/VISA® check card • e-Statements • Check Buy-Back* PLUS, GET YOUR CHOICE OF A FREE GIFT WHEN YOU OPEN ANY NEW CHECKING ACCOUNT! of Philanthropy and Director of Stewardship. As Chair of the Brookline Conservation Commission, Bowditch worked to create new parks, restore a sanctuary, and develop three open space plans. “Greenbelt’s focus on getting people out into nature is particularly appealing to me, as is the role of conservation in building climate resiliency,” said Bowditch, whose background also includes teaching in Kenya and working with the International Commission for the protection of the Danube River in Europe. Most recently, she developed a partnership for river restoration in the Dominican Republic with funding from Riverprize, the world’s foremost award in river basin management. “Kate’s exemplary record of experience and accomplishments is balanced with her personal gifts,” added Annie Madden, Chair of Greenbelt’s Search Committee. “She is warm, open, thoughtful and genuine, and I predict she will win the respect of the entire Greenbelt community and others across the county in no time at all.” Minimum deposit of $50 is required at account opening.
