Online adventures: Using something called Voice Thread

Heeding advice from the instructor of my orientation course, I carved out a couple of hours yesterday and found a comfortable but work-appropriate spot in my house to get caught up on assignments. And I did. I’m not done with [...]

Online adventures: I’m a slacker and I know it

A loner. Withdrawn. Questions the meaning of life. A rule breaker. I know. This reads like an UnSub profile on an episode of “Criminal Minds.” It also describes me (although I tend to follow rules). A recent MBTI test in [...]

My online adventures: My first incomplete assignment

The first rule of journalism also applies to graduate school, I’ve learned. Never, ever ever ever, assume. In addition to an online business course, I’m enrolled in a four-week orientation class that’s supposed to help me figure out how virtual [...]

So for the past few weeks, I’ve been driving around Columbia thinking “Man, this year’s Art in the Park logo is really clever!” No wonder! Today I found out one of our recent graduates, Stacey Silman, designed it! If you [...]

A great Stephens blog (and event)

It’s starting to slow down in my windowless corner of the marketing office, which unfortunately means I don’t have much to tell you right now. That said, today I stumbled on an uber-awesome Stephens blog, and I’m so ashamed it’s [...]
