Yay! Membership is up to 700. It's time to make another newspaper for my readers.












A NEW Nontraditional Students News newsletter will be made soon.

I told myself the time was right when I had 700 readers sign up.

Maybe I will put a FEW of my postings there. But mostly it will be a fun newsletter or newspaper JUST for nontraditional students.

If you would like to submit an article, just let me know. (And I will need to read and OK it first...)

Real people telling real stories would be great. If you have stories from your time as a nontraditional student, I think people will want to read these.

Neat cartoons, photos, etc. are also great ideas, as are Resource Links, poetry, and more. I am also looking for an Advice Columnist, though it does sound fun to do myself too...

I will give you a by-line, of course! But can't pay you. At least yet. But if you want to see your name in print, and be able to say you wrote for the Nontraditional Student News, just let me know. Plus, it could be really fun. AND might lead to more down the road.

I may put some free ads in it this time. If you would like to have an ad, and I think it's OK for the issue, let me know. Right now paid ads are just $5 per issue. I will have different options later and probably have yearly options and size options too. School ads are A-OK too. I am thinking of having 4 issues per year. This might change later.

Not sure what size they will be yet later. I will see what looks best.

I might start a mailing list for printed copies next for subscription. For now, it's a digital only edition.

This will be a paper for commuter students, nontraditional students, adults going back to school, tips for nontrads, and much more. I'm excited!!

The University of Oregon Nontrad News







I found a fun web page about nontraditional students today.

It is from the University of Oregon and is called their Nontrad News. It is under the Dean of Students umbrella on the site. This site for nontraditional students includes a Resource Guide and information about Veterans Awareness week, a contact person (so important), and Nontraditional Student Profiles too. Here is that site page: The University of Oregon Nontrad News.

I really like this page, and will be adding it to the Nontraditional Student resource page at the BA Nontraditional Students website's Oregon page. I know that students in Oregon will be happy to find out all the services and help that this school offers.

Other things they have on this page are listings and pages for other activities just for nontraditional students, such as a Student  Families Clothing and Toy Exchange, (they had this on November 5th), a helpful link to the Health Center, a workshop called Get Savvy (for academic success) and a lot more.

I like how they let nontraditional students know just what is offered at the school for all ages. I also like how they include a contact number for each section.

Good job, University of Oregon!
