A preview of the Nontraditional Student News, plus some good links

The last Nontrad News issue is coming up this Spring. All I have to do is make it. :-)

I was waiting for an even 700 readers, but 689 is still OK, so I'll go ahead and update for 2014.

A page of tweets for nontraditional students

This posting is for my readers who do not go on Twitter. I have a page there for nontraditional students. It is at this address: @nontrads (click to go there). I post websites, links, newsgroups, quotations, and more there for nontraditional students, who are going back to school after a break.

I have also started a Twitter group, called a Twibe, at this address: http://www.twibes.com/group/nontradstudents. If you are on Twitter, you are most welcome and encouraged to join this group.

Here is one page of my Twitter postings. I think you will like these links!
