Hmm. Looks like that link isn't working. I get the point though.

    It seems like Emerson's priorities aren't set on accentuating their strong points, but rather on making themselves a more all-around accessible campus.

It certainly seems that way, though it also seems like the changes they're making will draw more of the Fox News anchor type than another Maria Menounos, but what the fuck do I know?

    Also, we should definitely get together for a drink sometime.

I'd be up for that.

That's interesting, what makes you say that?

Let me know if there's any weekends in March/April that look good for you! Maybe we could even try a full-out Hubski meetup in New England.

Well, Emerson is kind of known as the school for students who feel like outsiders in high school; it's the art school for the weird/arty kids who are not visual artists. Those go to Mass Art. Or at least, that's the way it was when I went there. Also, it's a school with a large LBGT population, which of course is now a much more mainstream thing. My point is, Emerson seems to be trying to change their demographic a bit and what with its prominence as a broadcasting school and the rise of the pretty-faced TV anchor it seems like a confluence of interests.

I don't know who else is in New England, but yeah, we could certainly throw that out there and see what sticks!
