Introducing 'Call to Action'

By Teresa Valerio Parrot. The role of communicators and marketers on campus has evolved and expanded exponentially in the last 15 years or so -- the people in these important roles now interact with and impact every department, division, and unit across a campus.

Canceling My Netflix DVD Plan & The Last New Lecture Hall

By Joshua Kim. This week I (finally) cancelled my Netflix DVD monthly plan. The reason: HBO Now and Netflix original programming. 2015 is the first year that I can get enough high quality video entertainment without relying on physical DVDs to come in the mail.

By Michelle Lavery. Walk into the coffee shop on any university campus and what do you see?
