EMU 0/0/0 makes McPaper

sitedad — Tue, 25 May 2010 13:07:28 +0000

It’s not much of a story, quite frankly, but exposure in USA Today is always a good thing: “Public colleges, universities grapple with tuition hikes.” The comments on this piece don’t exactly speak highly for themselves….

“Yes, there IS a FREE lunch:” All-Campus Picnic May 20

sitedad — Wed, 12 May 2010 16:47:12 +0000

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 [...]

In the “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” department

sitedad — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:23:11 +0000

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 [...]

Kicking off EMU’s continuous improvement program

sitedad — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:29:38 +0000

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:

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 [...]

I kinda like a parade (and does anyone want to be in it next year?)

sitedad — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:51:48 +0000

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 [...]

EMU to Hold Casting Call for Football Poster and TV Commercial

sitedad — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:09:23 +0000

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, come [...]

Go Emus! (Though I have to tell you I’m not crazy about the logo…)

sitedad — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 10:27:04 +0000

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 [...]

Dear woman who rudely cut me off in the student center parking lot because “I have to go to work:”

sitedad — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:20:07 +0000

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 [...]

Naming the new EMU email system: we can do better, EMUTalk folks!

sitedad — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 03:34:19 +0000

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 [...]
