The St. Thomas administration is finding ways to use social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to its advantage. The New Media Initiatives Group (NMIG) was recently developed by the administration.

More than 300 St. Thomas students are preparing for the annual Christmas concert that will take place Sunday, Dec. 6. While this year’s performance will not be taped, last year’s concert will be shown again Dec. 24 and 25 on Twin Cities Public Television.

St. Thomas students who interviewed for Target positions through the Career Development Center need not worry about recent job cuts affecting their opportunities.

St. Thomas students will present their unique business ideas Oct. 30 in the final competitions of the Fowler Business Concept Challenge.

The preliminary submission, presented Oct. 15, consisted of a brief description of the business concept (product or service), targeted a specific customer, provided solutions for solving the customer’s problem and demonstrated how the product or service will generate revenue and profit.

St. Thomas students, faculty and members of the surrounding community filled the O’Shaughnessy Educational Center auditorium Monday night to hear Donna Brazile speak about the importance of mutual respect and unity in today’s world.

About 600 people came to listen to the CNN political contributor, ABC News consultant and veteran Democratic political strategist. Brazile came to campus for the CommUNITY series, which offers events and discussions to promote creating “a socially and intellectually conscious community.”
