Campus Communications using Online Forums
As a followup to last week's general Staff Affairs meeting it is apparent that a lot us do not know about important forums for communicating information on campus besides general campus emails. A good example is the weekly FYI and the link to that forum is emailed out weekly to the campus. Over the last year ITS has also made the default home page for staff PCs at www.belmont.edu/home. A lot of the news stories from all the forums shows up on the home page...so you don't have to bounce around to keep up. The other nice thing about many of these campus news forums is that there are links on each to each other making it easier to find. So, visit and read them on a regular basis to find out what is going on campus.

an easy way to get your story out there, try a blog, its fast and easy. Contact Adrian Constant, Bill Hobbs or Paul Chenoweth to discuss setting up your blog now.
