It's day 84, and it looks like it might be time to stop making videos of these daily posts, I think. They don't get a lot of views and they're pretty time-consuming to make. Of my top ten videos this month on YouTube, only one of these is on the list, and it's number nine. Also, there's not a lot happening in Bemidji State's slow-motion collision with the iceberg. The deck-chairs are still being moved around, I suppose. But I'm no longer that interested. The VP in charge of strategic enrollment management has just announced yesterday that she has taken a new job at a company that offers enrollment marketing and Slate services to Higher Ed. The president thanked her for her two-year record of success in his announcement. Later in the day I got an email from this exiting VP asking me to update her on the progress of the Z-Degree at BSU, which had been part of the five-page Strategic Enrollment Management Plan spreadsheet the task force spent last year producing.
I found a set of the Great Books, 1952 on abebooks. It runs around 500 to 600 dollars, which if you consider there are 54 volumes is not expensive at all. They weigh 100 pounds. Shipping would probably cost more than the books. There are some later editions with more volumes. I heard somewhere that there is a companion study guide. Not sure about that. My western civ course had a set of I think 14 or so volumes called Readings in Western Civilization. You have motivated me to re-enter the world of learning. I actually study quite a lot, but in the field of agronomy and animal husbandry.

How does the transfer to another institution work with schools? Are there emphases within a school which would be a major by another name?
