The start of something ... well, something!
I've set this blog up to try and make an even easier line of communication between the RTV faculty and students. I'll try and make it a weekly thing - something new, but who knows how large each will be. I have just a ton of time on my hands, as you all know. :-)
One thing that you may have been hearing something about is the creation of a new college on campus. That's a true rumor. It's also where I've been spending a significant amount of time this academic year. Starting in the Fall the Department of Communication will move from the College of Professional Studies to the newly created College of Computing, Information and Communication.
What does this mean to the current RTV student? Not much. What did being a member of the College of Professional Studies mean to you? But to incoming students it may mean something huge. What we want to do is create an environment that will encourage communication, computer science and information systems students to collaborate on new ways of transferring information, stories and meaning using the latest technologies.
While the college technically starts up in the Fall, and our department will immediately join, for the most part we’ll be operating in “business as usual” mode. We will not move to the new space in the AS&T building. Now, there may be some changes coming in terms of space – and if there are it’ll be for the Very Good, I assure you. I'll let you know what those are as soon as I can.
Keep on working, studying and creating this semester. I'll blog back as soon as I can!
