WESLEYING: A retrospective/recruitment

February 4, 2010 – 4:17 PM

[ February 8, 2010; 7:30 PM; ]

As I grow increasingly aware of the few short months that lie between now and graduation, I look down at my navel and think about my time at Wesleying.

In my first semester at Wes, Wesleying was a fresh experiment, an increasingly poorly kept secret that the girl down the hall consulted to corral our motley [...]

Wesleying’s Next Top Header Design

October 16, 2009 – 5:54 PM

Because we want your help in making Wesleying a better place, we’re having an open call for header submissions.
Both our most recent one and the Wesfest-hippie-bus one before that were meant to be temporary (and the current one most definitely is), but, well, life happens and we don’t have much time to improve on them.  [...]

WSA campaigning on Wesleying

September 14, 2009 – 11:20 PM

Hey WSA candidates,
As you prepare for this week’s elections, keep in mind that, as always, Wesleying is inviting you to campaign here on the blog. Especially since there are 30 (wtf?) of you freshmen running, you might want to help your constituents tell you apart.

WESLEYING IS RECRUITING

September 9, 2009 – 8:15 AM

[ September 11, 2009; 4:15 PM; ]

Hey readers,

A bunch of our biggest contributors graduated last semester, and we are very actively accepting new ones this year. This could mean you!

Wesleying was created as a student-driven space to promote a sense of community on campus, and we hope we’ve helped do so over the past three years.  Now that we’re settled here [...]

By Sheek | Posted in Events, Wesleying | Also tagged | Comments (2)

Yes, that’s a new header.

September 7, 2009 – 11:37 PM

Or at least the beginnings of one. I’m still not completely happy with it, but I think this is a good time for a change.
You may notice some other small tweaks as well. Comments, suggestions, and (constructive) criticisms welcome below. If you have any other site-related comments, they’re welcome too.

Numbers to Know

November 30, 2008 – 9:59 PM

You might notice the “Numbers to Know” section in the sidebar seems longer than before. That’s because we’ve just added a handful of additional numbers to the list. Also, remember that the format for all on-campus numbers is 860-685-xxxx.
For whatever reason, none of these numbers are be printed in the ‘08-’09 directory, even though they’re [...]

Blogger Maintenence

June 24, 2008 – 5:34 PM

Blogger seems to be scheduled to perform maintenance in about an hour and a half (4PM PDT), although it shouldn’t last more than 10 minutes or so.
This seems to be happening more than usual lately (or maybe it’s just me?), so don’t worry if we’re down for a few minutes here and there.
