An alert EMUTalk.org reader emailed me today about an article in the New York Times, “Digital Billboards, Diversions Drivers Can’t Escape,” which, as the headline suggests, is about these new digital billboards and if they are (or aren’t) dangerous. But by coincidence (I presume), this article features prominently an EMU “Explore Eastern” ad on an [...]

My colleague and friend Jessica “Decky” Alexander sent me this yesterday, and I thought it was something good to post here: Dear EMU Community, EMU and You. Making it better. Continuously. What are you making better? EMU is filled with stories where someone has improved the quality of life, and learning. Tell your story. Share how you or [...] Eastern Michigan University names Kraft vice president for communications Via email from Pam Young: YPSILANTI – Eastern Michigan University has named Walter Kraft as its new vice president for communications, pending approval by the Board of Regents. The appointment is effective August 10, 2009. More after the break. To be honest, I don’t know enough about [...] But I didn’t love it this year– and by “it,” I mean the annual July 4 parade. I thought it was a little on the short-side, it featured too many cars with no decoration or indication at all why they were in the parade (perhaps they just got stuck in traffic), and it had [...] I got an email about this earlier, but didn’t see it until today, so sorry about the short notice. Basically, here’s a chance to be in an EMU football ad campaign with Ron English. Read below for the details, but if you’re available 10-11 am oops! noon that is– on Thursday, June 11, [...] Imagine my joy when I came across this bit of news first thing this morning: “Eastern Michigan University faces controversy over antagonistic logo!” which was posted on PRLog, a “free press release” service. A quote: An Eastern Michigan University graduate, who goes only by “Eric”, has created an E.M.U. logo based on the bird [...] I hope you got my note. I was the guy pulling into a spot in the EMU Student Center parking lot this afternoon, fair and square, when you cut me off by going the wrong way and took it. My jaw appropriately dropped onto the steering wheel, I pulled up next to you, rolled down [...] Like everyone else (I guess?), I received this email today from Pam Young: “Have Your Say: Help EMU name its new e-mail system” As announced in May, EMU will introduce a new system for e-mail, calendaring and collaboration beginning in October 2008. The e-mail component will be implemented October 3, with the other components to follow in [...] From Sunday’s AANews, “Billboard could bring money to city Council votes to lease space for 60-foot-tall digital sign at Huron exit.” From the story: The Ypsilanti City Council voted July 15 to lease space to Adams Outdoor Advertising for a 60-foot-tall digital billboard at the Huron Street exit ramp off westbound I-94. Adams wants to [...] It’s been awfully quiet around here lately. This is what spring/summer brings to the campus, not to mention that it’s been a bit of a “slow news” cycle around here. Plus I’ve been awfully busy with my pesky day job of teaching and conference going and the like. Anyway, I walked into my office today and [...] |
