Hi Everyone .. I just wanted to point out that Lehigh’s twitter feed feels unloved and unappreciated. The twitter feed located at http://twitter.com/lehighedu auto updates each time this blog is updated… and honestly we are using it as one of the measures of the success of the site. People tend not to follow something that has limited followers. So please follow the twitter feed, that way you know when the site is updated, how it’s updated.

Perhaps many of you feel it’s not relevant to your studies, the flip side to that is that it’s highly likely your eventual students will be using it.. or a similar service.

So even if you don’t see the need now, eventually the chances are high that you might see the need to use some types of social media in the future.

Also worth noting, it’s a growing trend as a means for communication between professors and students, as well as job prospects as it helps build online relationships with like minded people.

We know that many of you have been waiting to meet Lehigh’s students, especially in the college of education. That being stated, your wait is almost done…… Keep checking back over the next few days!
