Purpose

The goal of the blog is to compile the best of your daily readings in order to share with our fellow classmates, our networks, etc. Ideally, this blog will combine our knowledge and perspective. Thus, the more posts we have the more diverse the range. In that sense, we will be sharing what we find fascinating in order to learn what others do as well...If successful, we will end up with our own daily newspaper of sorts.
