Back to blogging


|
With many changes in the university this spring, and with a change in the software we use to create our blogs (and a change of computer for me when my old one "died,") I had to take an unplanned break from blogging.  Well I'm all set up now and will begin blogging anew...

Now I have the opportunity to add images and even sound to my blog, so I'm planning to share more of the great experiences that the College of Arts and Letters has to offer with readers of this blog.  Look for photos of our events and maybe even some podcasts of performances or lectures from time to time....

Let me hear from you if you have ideas or things you'd like to see addressed in the blog! (Email me at denise.vonherrmann@usm.edu).  Thanks for reading.

Summertime


|
It's summertime at Southern Miss--summer classes have begun and several of our faculty are preparing for the summer camps they will offer.  Other faculty members are traveling to conduct research or as part of study abroad offerings.

Summer is also a great time for planning, and in the dean's office we are taking full advantage of this time to work on advisement processes and to figure out ways to expand opportunities for internships and similar hands-on experiences for students.  Several of our departments are also busy planning symposia, conferences, and other events for next fall.  In the coming weeks I'll use this space to keep readers updated on our progress.
