goTriadU
Welcome to goTriadU, the beginnings of a network among the students of eight of the colleges and universities around here.
The link is to the blog, which is the first part of a wider network that will include news, entertainment, discussion and fun stuff. Sixteen student reporters are building it, and the site is forming relationships with media at the schools.
From the About page: goTriadU is about connecting college students throughout the Triad area of North Carolina to each other and your community. Get out of the single-campus silo and link to other students, groups and campuses. Make connections on events, help each other network for internships, find part-time jobs, sell your stuff, form new cross-campus groups, find a ride home, rate your classes, get involved in an important cause. We’re here to help you connect; it’s up to you to make the effort.
On the blog you'll find what you need to know about Aggie Fan Fest, Dollarmania, sports, the second prez debate, and that Yum Yum's is one of the five most important things to know about UNCG. (Has anyone told the new chancellor?)
It's new. It'll get less institutional and more compelling as the year progresses. As the bloggers get experience, they'll also get their voices. I'm looking forward to it.
It's an offshoot of the News & Record, although not really "of" us, as you may think of the paper. It is being developed by the company's new ventures group.
