Welcome to the Fall 2005 Edition of the Boylan Blog!

Hello Boylan Bloggers!

We hope that your summer was as refreshing as ours! We at the Boylan Blog would like to take this opportunity to welcome you back to Brooklyn College. This semester promises to be a great one for us as there are so many things we're anxious to share with you.

First, we'd like to welcome back two members of our staff: Christine and Robert. We would also like to bid a fond farewell to the members of our staff who have moved on. Emma, Jane, Kristin and Pavel: We appreciate all of your hard work and wish you the best in all of your future endeavors. We'd also like to take a moment to welcome aboard the new members of our staff: Alyssa, Elina, Esther, Keith and Randi. We'reexcited to have you on board!

In case you're new to the site, the Boylan Blog was created to provide students with the information they might not receive through ordinary channels. Here, students have access to current news transpiring in the local, national and international communities; the latest information on campus activites, events, contests, scholarships and awards as they relate to English majors; and a place to respectfully voice their opinions and to dialogue with an online community in a safe progressive space.

We're anxious to get started! As you read this, we are already hard at work on this semester's Open Mic event and this week's Boylan Brief, and we are laying the foundation for next semester's Zine. We'll have updates on how you may take part in these activities very soon.

We'd also like to know what interests you. Tell us what you'd like to see on the Boylan Blog, or if there is a news story or student-related event that you'd like to share, please feel free to e-mail us at: BoylanBlog@yahoo.com.

Thanks for visiting with us!
