Good news: work-related

Some good news to update the blog here. This month, the Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University approved my application for tenure. This means that beginning in the fall semester, I will be associate professor in the journalism department.

On the same day, I learned I had been elected vice president of College Media Association, Inc. my two-year term will begin after the National College Media Convention in October.

Update: Blog focus and more photos on Flickr

I started uploading photos from my 365 project here as I was uploading them on Flickr, but that became unwieldy. If anyone is reading and interested, you can follow along with my 365 project on my Flickr account here.

I will still upload some photos here that I don’t use with the 365 project, but I also plan on doing more commentary and make greater use of this joint in the future. I need to update some of the information on the CV page and update WordPress again. Maybe change the theme. Summer’s coming and so I’ll have a bit more time to do things.

Thanks for reading.
