I’m wondering if the old adages “no news is good news” and “bad news travels fast” have been responsible for my writer’s block the past couple of weeks. I do tend to report it when things go wrong in our profession, although I occasionally hand out kudos as well.

To learn more about our study abroad opportunities in Asia visit… Continue

Twitter Twists

Twitter Twists

Twitter is all the rage!

Most everyone uses it (nowadays) as a marketing tool.

Nice!

First off, are you putting yourself in your prospective clients mind? I see a couple of issues here:

The Silver Bullet

One of my all time favorites from Sensei, which I would like to pass on to you.
