Once in a while, it’s okay to toot one’s own horn – it’s good for morale and bolsters self-confidence. So, here goes – in 2013, the College posted a total of 51 blogs (one per week, statutory holidays excepted). Overall, these blogs have been generally well received – garnering a total of 696 likes from our Facebook fans and 452 tweets from our Twitter followers. The number of views for each of the posts is even higher.
Now, the numbers may not appear to be astronomical, but they mean a lot to us. They mean that our vision of informing, educating, and engaging students, registrants, and other stakeholders is coming to fruition. For this, we thank you.
We will continue to connect with you and provide you with current and pertinent information about the College, discuss issues that matter to you, and engage you in dialogue.
