Blog format, goals and frequency of postings

Hopefully by now we have a handful of repeat readers. If not yet, then my hope is that once school starts more students, alumni, faculty, staff and parents will frequent this blog often to find out what's happening in Career Services and Internships and learn the latest news and tips.

This blog will be replacing our office newsletter that was published each semester in the past. We will periodically send email notices out trying to recruit new readers, we also have the blog "icon" on our websites for readers who might happen to "stumble" upon it.

The primary goal of this blog is to be informative (aren't all blogs). We hope you find the articles we post useful, we will advertise our career events and workshops here as well.

I am most excited about the opportunity to allow other people to post on the blog. Students, alumni, faculty, and parents are all invited to write a post. Alumni spotlights, intern spotlights, advice from faculty, student thoughts, parent perspectives, ect..... are all welcome! Help spread the news. Please email your article to jbaker@smumn.edu.

Ideally, we would like to post something new for the reader everyday M-F. That may happen occasionally, but for now we will definitely be posting something new every M-W-F. Make sure you check back those days!

Have a great week!
