At the start of every contest, when all the new members arrive, ready to post about anything and everything they can think of, all the faculty and older members on the site emphasize that all posts should be Progressive. If they aren't, they won't be counted towards the scholarship.
Many of you from Fall 2006 contest and before are likely to remember the Featured Blogger feature that we had in place. Basically, the moderators and administrators would pick a few bloggers throughout the contest and feature them. Well, it got to be dead, in a way, as the same four bloggers were featured for nearly the entire contest. This was deemed unfair by many ProU members. So, we have developed a new system.
Hello, Progressive U bloggers!
Happy 4th of July! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and an oustanding week!
As you reflect on America's independence, I also ask you to think about how Progressive U has impacted your life. We all blog for progress and for a more positive world. But, what has ProU taught you in past few months? Have you written more because of ProU? Have your grammar skills improved? Do you respect other people's thoughts more? Whatever ProU done for YOU, we want to READ your comments. Don't hold back when telling us how ProU has influenced your life. If you read more books, TELL US!
The end of the Spring 2007 Blogging for Progress Scholarship competition was yesterday. We know that the chance for a scholarship is a major incentive, but we hope that you have enjoyed the experience enough that you will keep coming back.
It normally takes up to two weeks for us to review point totals and posts of potential winners, contact winners, and receive confirmation of their acceptance. We plan to be finished with that process by July 15 at the latest, and we will post an announcement at that time (or earlier, if we finish the process early).
In the lastest poll a few of you replied that politics is pointless, and certainly others are not satisfied with the status quo for politics. But even if you aren't satisfied with traditional politics, if you have spent any amount of time on Progressive U you realize that you can't afford to just sit back and watch. What better way to take matters into you own hands than to study the "state of the union" and debate what needs to be done this summer at one of the countries top universities?
