Now The Real Work Begins…

Posted By Samuel Richard on January 7th, 2008

I start a new job today. But the kicker is I have already been doing it. Now I just get paid for it.

The College of Public Programs is embarking on a new recruiting campaign. I am one (1) of six (6) people that form the Student Ambassadors for Recruitment (StAR). Our goal is to promote enrollment in the COPP by creating interactive experiences, interactive communities, and interactive interaction.

It will end up being a little more complicated than what I’m about to describe it as, but more or less, I am getting paid to blog about life at Arizona State University’s Downtown Campus. And specifically, being a student at the College of Public Programs. My “regular” installments of Phoenix Friday and Round Up From The Ground Up were trial runs for things that might be interesting to a student looking into a degree program that the COPP offers and the life and culture that surrounds our beautiful urban campus.

So thank you for reading so far. And enjoy the continuation. Thoughts, ideas, comments, suggestions, and snide remarks are always appreciated.

In the meantime, welcome to the forum where ideas promoting the inhabitation of the city that is otherwise Deserted After Dark, begin.

Cheers,
Sam

The Story Behind The Title

Posted By Samuel Richard on November 13th, 2007
Downtown Phoenix has a reputation for not being a very a friendly place after the sun sets. As a full time student at Arizona State University’s Downtown Phoenix Campus, I know firsthand that Downtown Phoenix is anything but Deserted After Dark.

This space is all about the proof behind that statement…

Cheers,
Sam
