2. About Leah
Leah Schklar is the Manager of Social Media and Interaction at
The National Society of Collegiate Scholars. She is the “face” of
NSCS on social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook and
LinkedIn and manages all of NSCS’ social media endeavors.
Leah has turned the NSCS Facebook page into a place for
members to connect with both other members and the national
office and has given a very personal touch. She has helped
chapters develop their chapter pages, encourage their members
to participate in conversations and to use the page as go-to
place for everything from posting pictures to sharing meeting
minutes.
In March, Leah developed the TalkNerdy2Me blog and through
her position as Chief Editor, she manages partnerships, content
and design.
