After today’s class, I will add more to this post, but this should be a place to ask questions and talk about what you are doing to succeed in your courses.  Please post these as comments here, and we should all try to respond, Alethea and I will be in there, but if you have suggestions, you should too.  Don’t forget there is credit for your posts and comments on the blog.

Washington Center for Internships

Since 1978, Suffolk has been sending students to Washington for full-time, academic-credit internships through our partnership with The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars. Internships are available in all fields of study – Government, certainly, but also Arts, Criminal Justice, History, Science, Finance, Journalism – and, in fact, anything else. Students receive 16 credits for either the fall or spring semester, and 12 credits for the summer. Students retain any financial aid they may have, and some additional scholarships are available through The Washington Center.

Josh Bartell, a representative from The Washington Center will be visiting our campus all day on Wednesday, October 10. He and I will hold an information session at 6 PM in the large conference room on the 10th floor of 73 Tremont.

 

Welcome

Here is the blog.  You will be asked sometimes to post an assignment here and maybe comment publicly for all to read what you have to say and this will be a good way to learn how to write for a wider audience.  You will also be doing journals on Blackboard that only Alethea and I will read.

We would love you to post writing and photos that show how you are experiencing your first semester at Suffolk.  Things you have discovered in Boston, around Suffolk, good places to eat or to go for entertainment.  We are asking that as part of your grade you post at least 10 things on the blog.  If you post more, comment on other people’s posts and encourage other people to post, you will increase your participation grade.
