JCU Blog Central

A postcard from Chicago

Hi all!  I'm writing to you from my hotel room in Chicago while I have a little break during my conference.  I am currently at the American Marketing Association Symposium on Higher Education Marketing (a bit of a mouthful, I know).  This has been a fantastic conference and I've already learned a lot (and I've only been here since Sunday!) 

We've been talking a lot about social media in our sessions and blogs have come up quite a bit along with social networking communities like Facebook (I'll blog about that one later).  While listening to the presenters, I started to think, "we have these blogs that we've been doing for two years now, and we have a steady amount of traffic, but am I giving the people what they want?"

So, that is the question I pose to you.  You come to this blog and read my posts and the posts of current students, but are you getting what you want and need?  Tell me what you are looking for and I will try to deliver it to you.  Just write a comment down below or you can email me at khatgas@jcu.edu. 

Help me help you.

A note to seniors...

I just looked up at my calenday today and realized that we are closing in on the middle of November (already?!).  I also realized that nearly every time I write a post there is a sentiment of "where did (fill in the month) go?" so I apologize for the repitition, but it's been one of those crazy "time flys by" kind of semesters.

Anyway, if the time is flying by for me it is very possible that it is flying by for you as well.  So here is your wake-up call...SENIORS, JCU'S PRIORITY SCHOLARSHIP DEADLINE IN DECEMBER 1ST.  That means you have 17 days to submit your application and have test scores, letters of recommendation, and your transcript sent to us if you want to be considered for our scholarships (that's less than three weeks for those of you keeping score at home).

There is no need to panic (yet), but if you haven't started the process yet, you should probably log on to our web site and start your application and then tell your guidance counselor to send your information over to us.

As always, if you need help or have any questions please feel free to contact your admission counselor or just give the office a call at 888.335.6800.  Good luck and I hope to be reading your application soon!
