Blogging University President Gets Thumbs Up From Students and Parents
The Dayton Daily Newsreports that Cedarville University President Bill Brown is getting both kudos and traffic for the blog he has kept on Xanga since 2004. Students set up the blog for Brown to make sure he would blog.
"Kudos to a president who is so in-tune with his students and takes the effort to understand even their little subcultures ... Not many other presidents of universities have Xanga sites, I'm sure!"
And the parent of a Cedarville student wrote that, "I am impressed at your joining the blog family. What an excellent way to know the hearts of your students ... ."
Brown said with the demands of a college president, there are times it's a struggle to feed the blog beast.
"Sometimes I'm working on it late on a Sunday night," he said. But when he walks across campus the next day, "Students will stop me all the time and comment on what I've written."
Dr. Brown's blog can be found here. It looks a little more stylish than the other Xanga blogs.
