Evan Williams, Twitter’s CEO, will be speaking at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s journalism college tomorrow. His Q&A will be moderated by professor Rick Alloway, who had the magical ability to keep me engaged in his JOUR 101 lectures at 8:30 every morning back during my freshman year.

So it should be a good time.

Want to watch? Here how:

Where: NewsNetNebraska.org
When: 3 p.m. Central (1 p.m. Pacific and 4 p.m. Eastern)
How to ask a question: We’ll be taking questions live from students in the audience and also via Twitter. Send yours to @UNL_CoJMC, our college’s account.

I’ll be helping with the @UNL_CoJMC account tomorrow, but I’ll also have my account (@emilyingram) open. (Thank you, Twhirl!) So you can expect plenty of updates throughout the day.

Speaking of the rest of the day, Evan is also speaking at the Raikes School of Computer Science and Management, too. I was not involved in the planning of that at all, but here is what I know about the livestream for that talk:

Where: Raikes.unl.edu
When: 1:30 p.m. Central (11:30 p.m. Pacific and 2:30 p.m. Eastern)

UNL’s press release about Ev’s visit has more information.

Twitter CEO Evan Williams is coming to UNL J-school

Next week will be – in a word – crazy.

On Wednesday, I’m giving what I hope will be a fun and lively talk on how student journalists should market themselves on the Web. As one of the few journalism and advertising double majors at UNL, I don’t understand why every student doesn’t have – at the very least – an online portfolio, resume and presence on social media.

Seriously.

And after Wednesday, you could know the basics of how to have all three.

The Wednesday event will also serve as sort of a crash course of sorts for what students need to know about the Web as they prepare for internships and the ever-tiring job hunt.

Plus, I promise to keep things fun.

I don’t pretend to be an expert on this by any means, but I figure that I’ve done enough trial and error on the Web that I should have some talking points worth a listen.

However, my talk is but an opening act for the main event that will take place Friday.

Twitter CEO Evan Williams (@ev) will be on at the J-School, and the College of Journalism and Mass Communications has planned a laid-back Q&A event for 3 p.m. in Andersen Hall.

If you’re a UNL journalism student, you do not want to miss this. But for student journalists who don’t call the Cornhusker State home, you’re still in luck.

The college will be livestreaming the Q&A on its Web site, and I will be moderating questions via Twitter.

Have a question about Twitter, or how it relates to journalism, or something else entirely? Send it to me at @emilyingram.

So, in short: Mark your calendars!
