To reflect upon my blog posts for EDU 612, I feel like my posts were diverse within the field of higher education. I work in enrollment management and I plan on making a career out of working in higher education and I hope to move to the Student Affairs industry after completing my graduate degree. I believe that a professional in any industry/field should have diverse knowledge on their field, my blog posts from semester reflect that.
One theme I do see in my posts and most of the posts in this class, is the future. I see a lot of posts, including mine, that engage popular political conversations that will have a large impact on higher education in 2016 and after. I also wrote about the future of college athletic budgets and the impact they can have on a higher education budget and the future of Greek Life and the impact that could have on the advancement funds coming into an institution. I also examined the future of enrollment numbers and the importance of generating new income through graduate programs and certificates.
This project has been a great way for everyone to voice their own perspectives on higher education and finances, because these blog posts allow us to voice our rationale. I believe this was an important assignment because it allows the students to voice passions in this field beyond our assignment material, but resources that we have found and have an opinion on. I also believe that the required response posts allowed for healthy dialogue about common interests that each of us had. The only complaint I have is that I felt Blogger has some clunky editing tools and I felt like I was restricted on some formatting.
