You are looking at the new and improved Current Events page which replaces the previous Current Events page. This Current Events page, or blog as they are better known, allows us to provide you with an improved news distribution experience. Here are just a few of the improvements you will find in this “Blog”.

• You can now search using keywords to find a particular news entry by typing a keyword in the search box at the top of the sidebar.
• We can use a built in feature to solicit your comments regarding a specific entry.
• You can view each category of entries separately. If you only want to read the entries in the “Scholarship Information” category, just click on that category in the sidebar.
• Search for entries by date for the current month using the calendar in the sidebar
  
• Improved archiving of entries. Archives are grouped by month and year and can be accessed easily from the sidebar.

Note: You can return to the main Blog page by clicking on the Blog Home link in the dark gray bar just under the header. Also, because this Blog opens in a separate window, the main website is still available for viewing.

These are just a few of the improvements from the readers point of view, plus there are dozens of improvements from the authors point of view. We hope you find the changes helpful.
