Hello Paterno Fellows, and welcome to November!
Many of you have already been in touch with me regarding your interest in the Excellence in Communication Certificate, which is one way of fulfilling your communication requirement as well as a great opportunity in its own right! (If you haven’t heard about the ECC yet, check out our newly revamped website.)
Most students who aspire to the ECC will create their e-portfolios through the Penn State blog system. This week, I am hosting our first set of blog trainings–Wednesday, November 3 from 7:00-8:30 pm and Thursday, November 4 from 5:00-6:30 pm. This week’s workshops are a chance for students to create the blogs that they will shape into their e-portfolios. It’s also a chance for students to ask me any questions they may have about the ECC process.
To sign up for one of our two blog trainings, EMAIL ME ASAP! (mcs288@psu.edu) Then, go to blogs.psu.edu and click the green sign-in button to register for your Penn State webspace. (You won’t be able to participate in the workshop unless you have already registered, and the processing can take 24-48 hours.)
If you are interested in the ECC but are not receiving ECC-related emails from me, now is your chance to get started! Send me an email at mcs288@psu.edu, or use our online signup form.
I look forward to hearing from you soon, and to seeing many of you in just a few days.
Yours,
Michelle Smith
