We Are Not Trying to Recreate the Wheel



    In doing research for Marist College's strategic plan goal 5, I have been putting a lot of focus into getting to know what Marist has to offer its international students.  I have found there is very little thus far, hence the reason for the goal.  Marist Center for Cultural Affairs offers a program for international students which includes a welcome orientation and workshops throughout the year, but there are no student organizations specifically for international students at the college.


Marist College offers a program for international students through the Center for Cultural Affairs.


Marist Center for Cultural Affairs publishes a monthly newsletter informing students of workshops and culturally-related events.











My idea is that Marist start a student organization for international students similar to that of my alma mater, Rider University.  

Rider University offers many culturally- and internationally-related student organizations, including Rider International Student Association (RISA).  A similar organization at Marist might lead to increased international enrollment at the school.

    Marianne, please follow up on my last comment. You need to fully develop your blog by adding additional pages for your Portfolio, About Me, Contact Me, Site Policies, etc.

    Also, I would like to see drafts of the media products that you have been assigned to create for your team portfolio. You need to display them on your blog (on a separate page), invite feedback from teammates, apply feedback, and produce a smooth draft that you will upload to the team’s portfolio site by next week.

    For tips on publishing posts or pages that display interactive copies of your materials, see my latest blog post on Blogger at

    Good luck,
    Mark

    Mark, thank you for the feedback. My site policies page is already up and linked. I did this several weeks ago. I will move my About Me from merely a post to a page, and I will link that as well. I was planning to upload my drafts tonight or tomorrow night, and I will do that on a page called Portfolio as well as adding a Contact Me page.
