I have been investing time and energy into Web 2.0 and social media over the last six months and continue to stumble upon blogs by student life and residential life professionals. I often find information on these blogs that motivates and inspires me. I also often find things that don't interest me. But that's the internet, right?
I thought about whether or not I should create a blog. What do I have to say? Who would care enough to read it? Do I have time and energy to focus on writing a blog? One great hesitation I have is that I'm not an expert... on anything. But the longer I am working in this field, the more I realize I don't NEED to be an expert. And perhaps I should realize that even if only a couple of people read or care about this blog, that it has tremendous value for ME - to get my thoughts out there and share. My thoughts are inspired by the work I do every day in residential life and by my coursework in the higher ed doctoral program at the University of Minnesota.
So welcome to the blog. I hope I can keep up a reasonable posting pace and I hope that at least once or twice I write about something you care to read.
