President’s Blog
Blogs, Blogs, and More Blogs!
April 22, 2008
New media enrich our knowledge and communication. As I was thinking about updating my own blog, I thought about Dennis Dunleavy’s SOU Today. It’s been great to watch it evolve into a dynamic, visual review of life on our campus. I appreciate deeply that Dennis takes the time to capture our day-to-day campus experiences with such panache and enthusiasm.
But Dennis isn’t the only SOU faculty member connecting through blogs with students and the rest of our worldwide community. K. Silem Mohammad’s Lime Tree engages readers in re-thinking poetry. And links from that blog spin you through cyberspace to seemingly infinite topics, sparking ideas and making associations between the visual and the verbal.
With Inadaville, Miles Inada takes you on a whirlwind tour of arts and ideas. Terry Longshore recreates the magic of a sabbatical. And retired faculty member Warren Hedge’s Immanent Domain brings together powerful images with personal commentary.
These are only a few of the current and former SOU citizens who contribute to the intricate, interwoven dialogues of cyberspace. The narratives and images connect us, intellectually and visually, with a worldwide community, enlarging and enriching the meaning of a university. I encourage you to explore them.
So many blogs, so little time!
