Wow -- That was a really fascinating story. Maybe the College could offer workshops to students on how to effectively leverage social networking to achieve career goals. I think that there would be quite a few students interested in this!

ILLINOIS College of Business Have any of you been taking advantage of the newspaper bins? Do you like the concept?

This would be a great addition to the DI rack at the 6th St. entrance. But, I do think that it is a good idea that only Illinois students can get free papers... we are paying for them in fees, after all.
