WOL Update

Westwood LogoMy Westwood College Online (WOL) semester ended on May 16 and I am happy to report that I was again named to the Dean’s List with a 4.0 GPA. In addition, I was recently named a member of the Student Senate, the student body government for WOL. The new semester began on May 24 and I am again challenged with juggling the job, family, volunteer activities and school work.

In July, I will begin my role as a Web Design Online Student Tutor for WOL. This opportunity will allow me to help other students in the Web Design program.

Project Updates

BVCOB Youth Ministry website (www.bvcobyouth.com) went through a recent redesign. A school project, it was definitely the most pre-planned site I was involved in to date as the youth pastor, Jason, and I worked weekly to develop a plan that resulted in a site appropriate for the target audience.

A Content Management System (CMS) was installed on the website of the Buffalo Valley Church of the Brethren (www.bvcob.com). The utilization of a CMS allows church staff to update some of the site that changes frequently via the web. After I time of testing, this feature will be offered to clients.

Business Phone Line

We recently added a private phone line for our home so that 570-966-2470 is now dedicated to Projects by Peggy. PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE when I am not available. Although having two phones ring at once (and sometimes three if you count my cell phone) can prove quite challenging, this allows me to leave the office at the end of the day.
