I don't want to blabber on here so I will just leave you with a link to the developer blog for the new BG News site, BG Views.
The site looks too much like the BG Views template for one, but I am working on changing that.
Now, I have the the forum closed to everyone but the people I add to it (Alumni). Right now that means AJ and Bridget can post and post and comment.
Sign up for an account and be sure to indicate that you are a BG News Alumni. I will then grant you posting privileges to the BGNAS site and BGNAS forum.
From landing first internships to making a complete career change, BG News alumni shared their professional experiences with current journalism students during BGSU's Communication Studies Week April 15, 2005.
The newly formed BG News Alumni Society hosted a panel discussion titled "From Here to There: Career Paths for Journalism Students" on the final day of the week-long event sponsored by the School of Communication Studies, which includes the Journalism Department.

It wasn't that long ago, at least not in our minds anyway. Those days in college -- the friends, the experiences, the late nights in the newsroom, or later on winding down after deadline at some favorite gathering place.
A lot hasn't changed. The BG News and the BGSU journalism department are still partnering to develop some of the best professional journalists today, or graduates choosing to make their mark in another career, using those skills they first found or developed at BGSU and maybe the student newspaper.
Ask Craig Goodman about his brother Terry and he doesn't hesitate: "He was about love of family, love of the journalism profession, and trying to help out someone who needed it."
Those values are at the core of the Terry Goodman Memorial Journalism Scholarship, a program begun in 2004 to honor the 1978 Bowling Green State University journalism graduate who became an award-winning journalist in Northeast Ohio.
The Professional Networking Committee's goal is to inform BG News alumni of opportunities for advancement and employment in journalism and other fields.
Sharing knowledge about job openings can provide a recent graduate with an entry-level job, while those with experience can benefit from new opportunities or have a place to turn if they unexpectedly find themselves in the marketplace.
NewsMakers is the newsletter of The BG News Alumni Society, which is dedicated to promoting scholarships and internships for current BG News staff and professional networking opportunities for alumni. The newsletter is co-sponsored by the Bowling Green State University Alumni Association, which pays for printing and mailing the publication to more than 1,500 alumni.
