Blake Vawter is joined on the Oregon State University admissions blog by Julie Walkin to provide an international perspective for the blog. Welcome to the blogosphere, Julie!

Blake mentioned earlier this summer that something like this was in the works, and I’m glad to see that it’s happening. They realized the growing need to communicate with an international audience in a similar way they were reaching a domestic audience.

(For those of you who are skeptical about admissions blogging, you should spend a few minutes talking with Blake.)

It will be interesting to see how they blend the domestic and international aspects on a single blog. They’re using WordPress, which means it’s very easy to provide a separate RSS feed for all posts in a specific category, e.g. International Students. I bet we’ll see them do this.

P.S. I like how they noted this particular blog post title change, and I like that they changed the title. It didn’t grab my attention the first time I saw it in my feeds (last Friday). Today, with the new title, it did.
