Success Center: Gordon opens for new semester
With a new bookstore and a bloated student body, Gordon College began a new semester Monday. The new bookstore is part of the Student Success Center which opened to students earlier this month.
I am sorry you feel the new site is such a low-level job. I do hope that when you choose to do better you will inform me personally of the URL so that I can enjoy your hard work and efforts.
I think you answered Anonymous 1:51PM in a very professional manner. You and the staff have done a wonderful job on this new site. I look forward to reading more!
I do like the formatting of the site and the presentation is more than acceptable. It does remind me of many of the larger media outlets, but thankfully without a meaningless ticker.
That said, the new site brings the most current posting to a prominent spot of the page. And whether that is a quick breaking news story or a quick blurb from the editor, the title is placed boldly on the main page. So, it made me wonder if titles including 'little bastards' , 'damn...', and a certain college football player is an 'idiot' could actually be coming out of the electronic pages of a professional journalistic enterprise.
But I still remember cutting and pasting with scissors and tape, so I must be out of touch. This may be the new journalism.
And frankly, an increase of 4.59% in enrollment (Gordon's numbers) while the overall state average enrollment increased 6.1% (Board of Regents numbers) does not make the Gordon student body seem much larger than what is warranted, to borrow from Merriam Webster.
But I only take offense because I read "bloated" to have a negative connotation and surely we love Gordon as one of the significant faces of our community.
I'll crawl back under my rock now.
4.59% was the fall increase. Spring has seen little decrease in enrollment.
Still don't like the word. Probably just me. Heading back to CNN in lieu of working.
