Since I arrived here, about a year and a half ago, many Facebook groups have been created by students to help communicate everything from crew calls\/requests, to publicize special club events, network with alumni, for clubs to communicate, to field questions from incoming students, to looking for housing classifieds, and much, much more.<\/p>\n

Our philosophy has always been to allow students the ability to manage their own groups.\u00a0Unfortunately, these groups often go untended as the students who create them finish their degrees, switch programs, or simply lose interest.\u00a0As a result, there are over a dozen (more like 20!) Facebook groups with our name, which tend to confuse a lot of new students, and are often misinformed.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re going to start creating groups specifically for the different education levels here at Dodge.\u00a0We plan to implement these groups progressively, beginning with the students accepted in 2012, and adding groups for each year, rather than trying to overhaul the system and forcing people to change what they\u2019re used to doing.\u00a0The group admins will be current students with official positions at the school, and managed by them to make sure the information is always up to date and accurate.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how it will work:<\/p>\n

There will be five ongoing Facebook groups\/pages:<\/p>\n
