We have just completed the third year that Wofford has had blogs on its website. The first year was about five students from different backgrounds around campus and at different stages in their Wofford experience. Last year saw us tweak this formula to include a few faculty and concentrate on first year student blogs instead of upper class students.

I’m still trying to catch up from my previous five day weekend, but still lots of good links to share. Also wanted to shoot another plug out for eduWEB Conference 2008! I just found out this week that I’ve been bumped up to a session slot and will be presenting on Email Marketing, basically walking through the fundamental steps that should be part of every campaign.

Wofford’s commencement is this weekend and Phillip Stone’s From the Archive blog has posted quite a few interesting posts about commencement over the last week. One that I found really interesting was one about Commencement at Wofford in 1858. Man things have changed over the last 150 years, but what an interesting look at how things were those many years ago. Also for those soon to be college graduates here are some tools from Mashable, 17 Online Tools For Your Graduation.

I just wanted to write a quick post to promote Wofford’s new Sights & Sounds page. Previously we had one page for Sights & Sounds and one for our Videos. In an effort to consolidate and rebrand the sections we went through a redesign and yesterday the page went live!
