WATERBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Post University, a student-focused university offering on-campus and online programs, today introduced its new blog at http://blog.post.edu. The blog is part of the school’s effort to participate in the national discussion about the future of higher education and to provide insight and peer support to both on-campus and online students. Written by Post University’s students, faculty, and staff, the blog will share their experiences of life at Post, as well as their perspectives on the educational issues that matter most through articles, podcasts, videos, Skypecasts, photos, and presentations.
The debut of the new blog features several posts penned by the school’s deans, scholar-practitioners, and administrators, including:
- Jane Bailey, Ed.D., Dean of the School of Education, who played a major role in the development of Post University’s Master of Education program.

- Edmund J. Lizotte (LTC-ret.), Director of Military Programs and Veterans Affairs, who helped build Post University into a leading educator of American military personnel and their families.
The Post University blog will also feature commentary by students, including undergraduates, adult learners, online students, alumni, active duty military personnel, and veterans. In addition, the University is using the blog as a forum to share views on the future of higher education in America. It will publish posts by and interviews with educators, business leaders, and policymakers in the Waterbury, Conn., area and around the country. The blog’s editors aspire to reflect the news, issues, and trends that matter most to its bloggers and readers, such as how new technologies are changing education and the growth in online learning. Examples of how Post’s bloggers are covering these topics include:
- Seven ways to make better use of technology in the classroom, a plan for transforming our classrooms into agile organizations that can quickly adopt advancing technologies for improved learning.

Ogrodnik, Ph.D., President of Post University. “We want our new blog to be the place where readers can find the most authentic picture of the experiences, perspectives, and culture that make up Post University, both in the real world and digital universe.”
