Closed for Summer

As the year winds down, and my term in SGA comes to an end I had to make the decision whether to delete the blog – or pass it on to the next PR Director. Luckily, that’s me! There will not be much going on over the summer for the SGA – but definitely check back next year for some fresh posts!

This whole “blogging thing” was a new experience for me. And to be honest, at first I was not very impressed. A few visits and comments later – I was hooked. I learned a lot in regards to new media and technology, mainly from the projects we had to do for class.

While it was not difficult to find issues and events to write on – it was a challenge to stay objective and not let my opinions overtake the post.

I think my favorite was creating the audio interview with the SGA president elect. I really enjoyed using GarageBand and recording the interview. There is a possibility of broadcast journalism in my future…

Anyway, I enjoyed keeping you all updated on the Student Government Association here at Rowan University. Make sure to check back in the fall!!

Back to the Boro Photo Essay

 

“The BIG event was an overall success! The Rowan Community was able to help 23 homes who really needed us! Although this was an event for the Rowan Community to say “thank you” to Glassboro, the Student Government Association would like to say thank you to all of those who participated. It was a hot day and everyone stuck through it and kept a smile on their face! Numerous families have called in saying thank you to all the students. We hope next year is bigger and better so if you didn’t get to participate this year, get ready for Back to the Boro 2010 edition!”
