January 2008 Archives
These Got Mathport? signs posted around our building are a joint creative effort between the Math and Physics, Developmental and the Humanities departments. (Perhaps we should start an advertising agency???...)
Please feel free to comment on the variations of the copy as exhibited around campus.
The purpose of the campaign is to introduce some name recognition first, then develop content awareness in preparation for a program launch on January 28.
And YES, expect more signs next week...
This first post is written on the same DAY we are celebrating Benjamin Franklin's 306 birthday.
Students and Faculty at the Institute are dispersing after the function at the auditorium. Student Jimmy Torres spoke on behalf of the Student Body and President Michael Taylor highlighted the personality of our founding mentor.
This is 2008, and so this is the 100th year of our existence as an educational institution in the heart of Boston.
An auspicious day of a remarkable year. Dates have that energizing aura, don't they? I often find myself making resolutions and plans, reviewing past performances, or carrying out other such time-mark prone activities whenever a significant date comes around, and today, for sure, is a high-class date.
This afternoon, we are having a meeting to plan the introduction of Mathport at BFIT. I don't know if Mathport will be remembered 300 or even 100 years from now... probably not; but we certainly will not be able to blame its non- longevity on chosing an inauspicious day to launch it!
Happy Birthday, Ben.
Happy hundred, BFIT.
Hello Mathport.
