Yay for Bonner blogging!

Hey Oberlin Bonners,
So, welcome to the OC Bonner Blog!!! This is a space to talk about anything you want to regarding service, reflection, and basically anything else! I just wanted to post and let you know about all of the cool ways in which our Bonner program is trying to expand its reach and build our community. So, Jerome, Alyssa, Julie and I all went to SLI (the Summer Leadership Institute) at Allegheny College last June and we learned about all of these lovely social networking tools. I'm not gonna lie, they weren't the most enthralling workshops ever, but despite that I got really excited about all the possibilities for reinforcing our community. We want everyone to feel comfortable talking to other Bonners about their service. If you need to vent, vent. If you want to share something, share it here! If you have a question, ask it here! Hopefully you have already seen our Oberlin Bonner Wiki (http://oberlinserves.pbwiki.com) and you know that if you need any information you can find it there! If something is missing, e-mail me at elissa.nieves@oberlin.edu and let me know! I'll add it! We also have our new Bonner Google Calendar! Yay! So now if you lose your calendar you have no excuse! It is up there! Also, everyone's birthdays are listed on the calendar. And if you have anything really big that you want to add, feel free to log on to the calendar and add it! Beware though, if all-Bonner access to the calendar is abused (i.e. you erase something important!!!) I'll have to change the password and restrict access. I would hate to do that because it would mean more work for me! And less fun for you! So, add any service events that you are hosting and/or aware of. And if you have something really big like a junior or senior recital, senior art show, or Mellon presentation, add that on the calendar so that Bonners know about it and can attend. We love to support Bonners at Oberlin! (At least I do!). Um... so I think that that's it. If you have any questions or just anything you want to add, feel free to post and/or comment! Just make sure to sign you name and class year so that we know who is writing!
