Flood Media

Hello, fellow refugee's, i hope your having as much fun as I am just being at a complete online college. Some people may not like this, but I would have to say, that they are complaining because they have never taken an online class or their teacher has never taught online. Those are two things i seem to be gathering from my friends at VCSU from facebook/twitter. Would you rather be at campus and have to use porta potties? Plus, there are many schools are based of Internet only classes, I mean, Id like to get my degree in criminal justice ONLINE!!

After the little rant, Ill finally get to the title of the article. This would be the flood, and all the media attention it is getting. There is a video out on MSNbc, which states that we are a great school, and such a tech savvy school, that we alone, are the best to handle such a situation. This is helping get out positive media about VCSU (free advertising) which is awesome for VCSU. Advertising costs lots, we have billboards all over ND, which cost 1200$ and signed into a contract. To show how much media they are getting, A friend that used to go to valley two years ago, (from Alaska) said she heard about it on the news! Alaska, now thats some media!

I have watched everything i can find out about VCSU and have never seen any negative media. They have got the football team on TV, to Brian Dalhberg, our tech savvy guy from Valley who is helping teachers if they have any questions about online classes. We are showing great promise for a small school, and rather wonder if the people who pay the bill for recruiting kids, would have it any other way.

The only thing that i can imagine is that people believe the city is in ruins, and would not be worth coming to, or that the flood happened, and may happen again next year. They never really shared the sewer thing, or the cancelling of every sport for the summer. So I cannot seem to think of anything that has given VCSU a negative image. We're a tech savvy school with a future! ;)
