Editor's Notes
How many people do you think would go to the college/university website and look for alumni stories? Not many, so we have to get the word out about our alumni in other ways.The same is true for News – not many people use college and university websites check their schools sites everyday for news updates, but rather – see posts on social media which will lead them to that story, or if they read something in an Alumni magazine, and then maybe that will send them to the website or somewhere else.
