I agree about PROpenMic.org. It can, through growth, provide these opportunities for even more of all interested parties. Also, I have to agree that those who are the early adopters, early joiners will – as you write – “make a far better than average hire for any employer in the market.” This will continue to be true for future joiners if they engage in the discussions and take that all important step – contributing, whether it be blog post or photos or comments in the forum/blog discussions.

We are grateful to you and all those at Edelman who have been so kind and supportive of our students and our program. It was, after all, both our involvements in online discussions that made it all possible. I hope other programs are following suit, and I believe they are getting into the game.

Thank you.

First off, it was great — as always — seeing you in Chicago last week. Thx to you and MFH for making the time to join us at the academic summit. Hope you got as much out of it as we did.

Secondly, PROpenMic is a gold mine for those looking for jobs and those looking for people. Allie is a total rock star, but the point here is this: anyone who’s on this site “gets it,” and will make a far better than average hire for any employer in the market.

Finally, I want you to know that we (Edelman) are insanely proud of our relationship with you and Auburn. You should be incredibly proud of the path you’re charting; based on the quality of the folks we’ve hired from AU, others would be smart to follow.

Cheers,

Rick
