If you haven't seen it, check it out (www.bridgewater.edu). It's B attractive, comprehensive, flexible and functional. And, perhaps best of all, it gives the College the electronic elbow room it needs to more creatively and effectively communicate with the world at large. For example. When the decision was made last year to no longer run baby and family-related photos in the Class Notes section of Bridgewater magazine, we asked ourselves how we could still serve the segment of alumni who are having children and who want to share family photos with Bridgewater readers. But we wanted more than just another way to disseminate this information; we wanted a better way, and we found it thanks to the ever-increasing use of the Internet by people of all ages and the promise of a new, enlarged Bridgewater College Web site. We are now working to create, within the new Bridgewater site, a secure section for the postin of baby, individual and family photos. There are several advantages to this. First of all, we can post photos and information as soon as we receive them rather than having to wait several months for the publication of the next magazine. Secondly, the photos will be in color, not black and white as they were in the magazine. And thirdly, space will not be an issue, which will allow us to archive photos on the site. Once this new feature becomes available, we will announce it in Bridgewaterand explain how it all works. Another magazine-related advantage the new Web site now affords us is the ability to post major features from each issue of Bridgewater. You can gain access to these articles now, beginning with the Spring/Summer 2006 issue, by clicking on three links: the "Alumni and Friends" link of the Bridgewater College homepage, the "Alumni Services" link, and then the "Bridgewater Magazine" link. From there, just go to the issue and story you want to review. Wnt to comment on the article you've just read? We've provided an online fedback form just for that purpose. As we continue to make changes, we will keep you apprised and value your support. Together, we can reach our goals of improving communication with alumni and enhancing the Bridgewater reading experience for all.
