—————–
Wrapping up Interview Week here (and my 25th Birthday!) with a video interview. If you don’t know the name Ben Jones, you might have been hiding under a rock for the past few years. A pioneer and leader in the admissions blogging field at MIT, Ben has certainly set a standard for us all to reach in terms of the community surrounding MIT’s blogging efforts. When I was asked in 2005 to be a student blogger at UIS during my senior year, I was told to “look at MIT’s blogging site” for reference.
Ben is now the VP of Communication at Oberlin College, his alma mater. Watch this video interview with Ben as I ask him several questions about the new job and future projects.
Tomorrow, check back for a few more projects to keep an eye on. I hope you’ve enjoyed Interview Week at SquaredPeg!
Brad,
Happy 25th Birthday!
Happy Birthday Brad! Great week of interviews!
I miss Ben
Gosh am I behind…
Happy belated birthday!!!
