A Brand-New Way

Since I assumed the dept. chairmanship last month, I have been thinking about a new way to involve the whole department in sharing ideas and communicating information. A department blog really fits the bill in being easily accessible to all on the Internet, allowing for interactions in the form of comments, and even serving as our departmental archives.

So, rather than send out weekly memos on matters that pertain to the whole department, I will use this blog to continually post department-related--

• news
• kudos
• activity reminders
• dates to remember
• resource links
• topics for discussions
• important messages
• and anything else that fits our needs.

Anyone in the world can read this blog by going to http://palomaresl.blogspot.com/, so you can just bookmark this web address and check back daily as a reader.

But it is easy to be a contributor to this department blog of ours. All you need to do is have a Google account using your Palomar email address and go through a simple six-step registration. After your free registration, made easy with an email invite you will receive in your Palomar email inbox, you will be able to leave comments on this blog or even write posts here.
