The Office of Student Services and ITAP present DePauw Weekly's "Featured Student," a new division of Student Vision. This Web site will feature DePauw students in personal videos produced by current ITAP students on campus.

The next "Featured Student" of the 2007-08 academic year is Scott Reasoner. Click here to view the video.

In an effort to increase overall communication and capitalize on technology that speaks to students, various staff in the Division of Student Services will be contributing to the Student Services DeBlog. Most bloggers in the cyberverse write from their own perspectives and their postings reflect their experiences and points of view; thus, the postings represent the opinions of individual contributors and not necessarily the University. This type of communication is meant to be "off the cuff", informal and accessible. As contributors, we welcome comments by phone, in person or via email.

Please view the Student Services DeBlog at: http://www.depauw.edu/student/services/deblog.asp.
