Lifelong Learning and RSS feed
If you look on the main WFU web page, you’ll see a graphic about “Winning the White House” - which is our Lifelong Learning course for the summer. The Alumni Council advocated for the creation of a Lifelong Learning program, so alumni (and parents and friends) could come to Wake Forest for brief classes and seminars. We’ve run one each summer since 2006 and if I dare say so, they have been excellent. It is a program we are trying to grow so that we can offer a lot of courses each year.
This year’s offering is timely because it’s about the upcoming presidential elections and understanding electoral politics. It is also taught by one of my very favorite professors on campus, Katy Harriger. Katy is an expert on independent counsels and was a much sought after commentator on the Ken Starr independent counsel lo these many years ago. To use the parlance of today’s students, Katy is a rock star. She is such a gifted teacher-scholar and I hope that a lot of you reading will sign up for the class: http://www.wfu.edu/alumni/events/lifelong_learning/
I also discovered something this weekend called an RSS feed. I would be lying if I said I knew what it meant : ) but I can tell you what it does. Basically you can click a button and add this blog to your main web launch page, like Google or Yahoo or whatever. It should work this way: on the bottom right side of the blog, you should see a link for FEEDS, and if you click the RSS feed, you can then add my blog to Yahoo or Google or whatever. For those of you who don’t want to bookmark, it’s another option to have this automatically show up. Give it a try if you like.
