Overview

At Monmouth College, we strive to create a culture of active and engaged students through student-faculty collaborative scholarship, as well as independent student-driven initiatives. We believe that such efforts will encourage original, creative work that models disciplinary ways of knowing.

Throughout the year, many Monmouth College student and faculty are involved in scholarly activities. We would like for you to keep in touch! How can you do this you say? Well…by creating a blog.

There are a couple of reasons for you to do this:

• to highlight and recognize your work,
  
• to share skills, events, experiences, and insight gained through your experience,
   
• to communicate the benefits of these opportunities, and
   
• to allow prospective students to see what MC students are doing with their time outside of the classroom.

All you have to do to get started is click on the How to Get Started link in the gray navigation bar on the left side of the page and read how to start a blog…it is very easy to do. Once you have your blog setup, send your name and blog site URL to Marcie Beintema (marcie@monm.edu) and she will add your name to this website.

If you would, please keep in mind a few things:

• This is a “work” related blog, and not the appropriate venue for personal life issues. This is NOT Facebook.
   
• The intent is to communicate with peers, faculty, administrators, trustees, and prospective students on the topic of your scholarly activities. Please make entries in a professional manner, be respectful, and proudly represent Monmouth College.

Topics to consider writing about:

• Please start your blog with a quick entry about how you arrived at your current location. This is a very important topic for those who would like to have similar experiences in the future.
   
• Where you’re working and who are you working with?
   
• What kind of daily activities are you involved in?
   
• What new skills you’re picking up?
   
• What has surprised you the most?
   
• And if possible, please post pictures!!!

We can’t wait to hear about all you are accomplishing!
