Getting Started


Two instances recently (my online American Literature class during the summer and my attempt to mentor the KING 2000 mentors) have moved me to blog, and I like it so much as a way to communicate quickly and topically that I have decided to start a blog for you, the Arts & Sciences Faculty. This is a good way for you to receive updates from me.

I find that email is not as effective as blogging when I want information to be readily available for more than an instant. In less than a day, an email is lost and off your screen, but the blog is there whenever you choose to access it. If you bookmark the link, it’s a simple click away.

In the past I have done newsletters from time to time for distribution in paper form, but those take more time and energy for me to write and format. I get caught up in having just the right number of words to fit on the page, in deciding on the layout of my document, and in choosing the fonts and images to fit my space.

The blog is so simple! I can easily insert an image or even a video. The text is formatted for me. I can just write whenever I have something to communicate.

So welcome to my blog. I want you to have the comfort of quick information and to also glimpse my dreams for us—Arts & Sciences, the flagship School at King College

I am eager to share my thoughts, answer questions, and get your feedback as we move through the semesters.
