Dean Rodgers is a crucial figure in the General Studies administration from the communications point of view and has a very long job-title: "Dean of Admissions, Enrollment Management and Commnications"
I spoke to him Tuesday at his office on campus in Lewisohn.
His goals for communication with the Student Council:
- Frequent, regular meetings
- Direct communication with the VP of Communication
- Work together with the council even there isn't agreement on all issues
- Council President blog is fresh with ideas, goals and thematic direction
- Policy committee publishes all their work, including face to face meetings and research assignments, in addition to resolutions
- More communication about work on politically sensitive, behind the scenes projects
- "Continue your story"
- Help them understand who GS students are today
- Blogs listed on a map, where links are at the location of the author's hometown
- Students blogging about the every day GS experience (the commute, classes, studying...)
- Poorly written articles (bad grammar reflects badly on everyone)
- Harmful characterizations of individuals or the student body
- Broken links
- The "build it and they will come" mentality, must get message out and buy in from many audiences before people will show up and actually use the site
