Oregon State Univeristy Admissions Blog

The blog that I have decided to talk about is the blog of an admission officer(s) at Oregon State University. I found this site randomly by doing a Google search for “non-profit corporate blog” and was shocked to see a university come up. This blog is definitely aimed towards prospective students who are considering applying to Oregon State. To get to this blog, a person must look under the future students tab of the main home page. The information included in the blog is also relevant for a future student and they might be interested in it. Some of the topics include a post about meeting prospective students and Alumni in Asia, an awarded granted to the school, the school’s football standings and some other things.
I think this blog has some very positive aspects and then some aspects that are not so positive. I think a blog like this would be great resource for a prospective student to read. It gives information about the school, positive awards it has received and different things that students at the school like to do. The posts include some great pictures of students, the football games and the other topics the different posts speak about. It gives some great perspectives into the school and makes the school look very involved culturally, educationally and interested in extra-curricular activities.
Some negatives about this blog is that there is nothing about the person/people who write(s) it or any information about them. It would be nice to know who the person or people who write it are, what exactly they do in the admissions office and how long they have been working at the college. It would also be nice if the link was a little easier to find for current students who might be interested in this blog.
