"Allegheny's podcasts act as a high-tech supplement to the college's other news and marketing materials," says Mike Richwalsky, the college's web administrator and host of the weekly program. "Allegheny is one of the first colleges to use podcasting in this way," notes Richwalsky. "Other schools may use it for specific departments or programs, but Allegheny is employing it as a way to keep people connected with the college as a whole." Updated each Thursday, Allegheny's podcast features updates on Gator athletics and campus events and highlights various academic offerings. The first two podcasts focused on student internships, senior projects and commencement. A different student is featured each week, with the chance to talk about his or her own unique combinations of interests and activities. "Part of the great potential in podcasting is the ability to connect on a more personal level," says Richwalsky. "Listeners can hear the real voices of real people in the Allegheny community," he explains. CommentsPost a comment |
