Beloved readers, I will be away for a week on a Backroads trip with my mom to Bryce, Zion, and Grand Canyon national parks. I will be back on the 20th. If I am not responding to your e-mails during this time very promptly, now you know why.

Feel free to leave comments about things in general, future posts, past concerns, whatever you like, I’ll address it all on my return. I highly recommend checking out the Archives and nosing through the wealth of content there if you have some free time.

Also, in July I am going to be part of a really awesome webinar series about admissions blogging that Karine Joly is running through her new Higher Ed Experts site. You should go sign up, no matter who you are, because it’s a great set up–I’m July 31 and earlier that month you also get Nancy Prater, Ball State University Web Coordinator and Ben Jones, director of communications for the MIT admissions office. If you don’t read their blogs already, you should–they have a lot of great stuff to say and I’m excited to be involved in this endeavor.

Plus, you get the good feeling knowing that my portion of your ticket price goes towards supporting my college education…! To my higher ed marketers and institutional readers out there especially, check it out, and even if you are able to turn down this amazing value! then register anyways and check out what Karine has set up because it’s pretty cool. I’ll profile it fully when I get back, I’ve been meaning to do so for a while.
