Welcome to the New Student Affairs Blog

The Student Affairs Blog is designed to provide staff with a vehicle to share news and events with others within the division. The blog was developed based on feedback from a recent divisional staff meeting where people indicated they preferred receiving short news items and information via their email.

You can post all types of media to the blog including text announcements ,videos, pictures, and web links. You can also post comments about content posted by others. Once confirmed you will receive an email whenever someone posts something new on the blog.

This will be a great place to share what is happening across the division using short messages as well as pictures and videos.

Here are some things we are hoping to see posted on the blog:

• News from the Division


• News about upcoming events


• Pictures and videos from past events and programs


• Staff awards and accomplishments


• Notice of job opportunities


• Links to professional articles of interest to others within the division

Please contact me at mianzo@louisville.edu is you have questions or if you would like the ability to post items to the blog.
