Anybody out there?
Greetings!
This blogging experience is quite new to me. (It even appears new to my spell-check as neither blogging nor bloging seem to register). So please forgive me now of my blog’s shortcomings.
It seems I have a job to do, and as I enter into this brave new cyber world of blogging, and logging my thoughts, I must understand who my audience is—and that would be you, the reader.
So who could be reading this thing?
Prospective students
Well, you are my first guess. And I do suppose you come in all shapes and sizes, so to speak. If you happen to be surfing our institution’s website, you have probably just stumbled across this unique feature, somewhere under the Admissions/Financial Aid Tab. And speaking of sizes, I am guessing you are somewhere in your high school years. If I am wrong, and you happen to be younger—well, good for you on getting a jump start on the college search process. But believe me, you will have plenty of time to explore in high school. Although, some of our prospective seniors might not think so.
Parents
I know mine would. You might be checking Scranton out for yourself—getting the lowdown, the info, and the dirt on what it means to be a Royal. Welcome aboard!
Anybody else? Well, there might be. (Like some of my friends) But as I see it, my message might not be geared towards you. In fact, my message is mainly for the prospective student. The freshmen, sophomore, junior, or senior in high school, who really has no clue what college is and what Scranton, specifically, stands for.
In this blog, I will attempt to capture aspects of Scranton that I think you should know about—you, a prospective Royal. Yes, I am writing this blog entirely for you, in the hope that it might shed some light into what Scranton is really all about. From the Commons to the Hill Section, I will hit it all.
So stay tuned. I will be hitting the hard topics first. I think I might start with the Commons.
Be back soon.
