Comments Roundup

Alums often leave comments that I want to highlight, so a couple of pointers back to earlier posts:
  • I blogged about the state of jobs in teaching political science at the college level; Debra Dahlin '85 wisely added some thoughts about how job opportunities are influenced by both geography and the use of adjunct instructors. Professor Sousa has similarly commented in past to students thinking about a PhD that they should be prepared that they'd land a job in a part of the country they don't know or particularly like.

  • I blogged about the misuses and non-uses email. A couple of alums chimed in, one at Microsoft and the other an elementary school principal. They remind us that email is both very important in the professional world but also very easy to abuse with improper tone or content. Read their thoughts here.
Thanks, alums, for your contributions to the blog.
