Today marks
five years of Inside ASU
Inside ASU,
the online newsletter for faculty and staff of ASU-Jonesboro,
celebrates its fifth anniversary with this issue, the 401st since its inception. Begun Oct. 8, 2002, the
newsletter was originally published once a week by the Office of
University Communications. On
Sept. 8, 2005, Inside ASU began appearing twice weekly, and on Sept. 8, 2006,
Inside ASU began appearing thrice weekly. Inside ASU aims to provide
timely news and information for and about faculty and staff.
Although Inside ASU is primarily a vehicle for internal
communications, it has an external communications purpose, too.
Inside ASU is sent to several legislators, the ASU Board of
Trustees, members of the ASU Foundation, Inc., board, and news media
representatives in
northeast Arkansas, Little Rock, and Memphis. Feedback is always
appreciated; send input to Tom
Moore or Sara McNeil.
