I meant to post this a couple days ago, but I guess I forgot; plenty of time to plan ahead though. From Geoffrey “Geoff” Larcom comes this announcement/invitation to be in an ad for the 0-0-0 campaign: Free food, fun and 0-0-0: Faculty, staff, students invited to “Yes, There IS a FREE Lunch,” All-Campus [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Eastern Michigan University names Kraft vice president for communications Via email from Pam Young:

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- 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 [...] 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 [...] Like everyone else (I guess?), I received this email today from Pam Young:
First off, I’ve got issues with this “as announced in May” bit. I might be missing something, but isn’t this the first official notice we’ve seen about when the new email system is going to go online? In fact, I’m pretty sure that this July 14 EMUTalk.org post was the first time I had heard anything that looked even remotely official about when this new email system was going to come online. But no matter. My real issue here is the naming options available. I think they are all pretty lame. Continue reading Naming the new EMU email system: we can do better, EMUTalk folks! |
