MyLynn “votes” are coming in fast and furious
We’re only 3 days into our weeklong myLynn awareness effort and I need to say publicly that I am so thrilled by the response. Everyone – and I do mean everyone from students to staff to faculty to even our own CIO – has been more than willing to stop and take 30 seconds to fill out our ballots, even proudly wearing the “I voted for myLynn” sticker. Considering we’re in their face and cornering them as they hurry to lunch or class, they have been gracious and willing participants. So, I’m thanking everyone here in advance. And a shout out to some of our myLynn fans I didn’t even know we had – professor Jill Levenson said she “loves” myLynn and student Dan Hennessey says he reads it all!
We’ll be around for a few more days donning our “Vote for myLynn” T-shirts and urging you to cast your ballots – and then we promise to leave you alone while we go about the business of pouring and sifting through the results. Our Discovery Phase is almost behind us, what with this massive voting week and the various sessions we’ve had with student and staff groups. We are hearing you all loud and clear; we will take it all in and process it.
As we go about the business of redoing, rebuilding, redesigning – whatever you want to call it – know that you have played an important role. Also, please feel free to offer input, feedback or ask questions at any time.
One final note: During a lunch session on myLynn with our student bloggers, they wondered aloud why our blog – Knight Writer – was able to commandeer such prime real estate on the Home page now. What about them? They are still relegated to the black hole of the Community tab (hey, I’m just saying it as I hear it). We are working on getting them more front and center, so if you do not regularly read their blogs you should. They’re awesome!
