University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler is on Twitter.
His bio: “President, University of Minnesota. Love family, newspapers and baseball. Value research, innovation and higher ed. Caffeine enthusiast. Go Gophers!”
But Kaler won't be the only one tweeting from the account. During the week of his inauguration, 16 "social media ambassadors" will take turns tweeting what Kaler's up to.
When posts are actually written by Kaler, they'll be signed with "- Dr. K".
So far, none of those.
