My dear students of Marrowston University,

As those just now completing their summer studies will have no doubt noticed a change or two, I feel that it is time to make a few small announcements. Firstly, the university is pleased to inform you all of a drastic improvement in our network connectivity over these past few months. Internet and electronic mail, as well as the very notification system which I am utilizing at this precise moment, should hopefully prove more reliable this year than it has in the past. Please note that it would still be in your best interest to expect the occasional outage, however I am informed that the majority of the "bugs" have been worked out of the new system. I would also ask you to remember that, even with the university being more properly connected to the outside world, the use of social networking sites is highly inadvisable, should you find yourself capable of accessing them. Secondly, on the social networking note, we will be implementing a new program as of today, adding weblogs to the university's available resources. Students are invited to use them as a means by which to communicate more readily. My staff and I hope that you will all find this new feature conducive to maintaining closer and more active relationships with your fellow students. All necessary instructions should be found attached to this notification, assuming that I have properly followed my own instructions, as provided by Professor Shake. Please feel free to acquaint yourselves with this new program between now and the start of the next term.

Dr. Maxwell Holyfield
President
