GREETINGS
We had a perfect
snow the other night at the annual Cispus holiday party: heavy enough
to add inches to the base at the White Pass ski area, light enough to
not bother the roads and just the right fluff to beautify everything in
white.
We hope your holidays are filled with the perfect mix of cheer, family, friends and rest.
In the Loop editor, Joe Fenbert

New
Student Leadership Blog
Washington
Student Leadership has established a Blog to serve the
needs of student leadership advisers and students. In short, a Blog is
an online conversation that allows multiple people to post comments on a
topic or question. As with all things new, how to best utilize the Blog
format will be determined through trial and error. To begin, a topic
will be introduced through In the Loop that hopefully generates interest and conversation through the Blog.
To start us Blogging, two prompts are currently on the site.
- What
questions do you have or successful ideas you can share about preparing an
observance for the upcoming Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday on Jan. 21?
- What do you think is a meaningful and relevant topic
or question for us to Blog about?
