Steve Dare’s (VP College Relations) gilded prose now lights up the blogosphere.
Alright…admittedly over-the-top, but I just can’t help myself.
Perhaps it’s all this holiday cheer that’s got me waxing so enthusiastically: The beauty of the winter-inflected campus, the college’s holiday parties, the soul-stirring music…
Seasonal tidings aside, Steve’s willingness to give blogging the old college try (groan) thrills me. Sure, there are likely senior administration at other liberal arts colleges that blog, but I’d wager not many, and I celebrate the college’s willingness to wade even deeper into the social media waters.
So please, first chance you get please join the conversation over at union2020.com.
And now on to other matters: Wither the reboot, the redesign, the re-branding, the re-whatchamacallit you ask? Rest assured things proceed apace. Our creative partner mStoner is furious at work behind hermetically sealed doors, putting finishing touches on a number of different “creative concepts.” Ah, but what’ are “creative concept?” you ask.
Essentially visual mock-ups of different designs for union.edu. Once complete, each of the different designs/”creative concepts” will be presented to key audiences for feedback. Feedback which will help inform which visual path we ultimately pursue.
Yes, slow deliberate work, but the end result will have been worth the journey. 2010 will herald some exiting things for union.edu.
Cheers!
