Today's word on journalism

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

Grammatically Speaking:

"We owe much to our mother tongue. It is through speech and writing that we understand each other and can attend to our needs and differences. If we don't respect and honor the rules of English, we lose our ability to communicate clearly and well. In short, we invite mayhem, misery, madness, and inevitably even more bad things that start with letters other than M."

--Martha Brockenbrough, grammarian and founder, National Grammar Day

SAAVI invites volunteers to assess website

By USU Media Relations & Marketing

January 14, 2008 | Volunteers are needed to assess the effectiveness of Utah State University's Sexual Assault and Anti-Violence Information office Web site. Students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in focus groups later this month to discuss what works -- and what doesn't.

"We're seeking people to give honest feedback on our Web site and help us serve the campus better," says Rachel Brighton, SAAVI coordinator.

Focus groups will be at the USU Student Health and Wellness Center located just north of Romney Stadium at 850 E. 1200 North. The center is accessible from the main campus via the Aggie Shuttle Stadium Express.

Each focus group gathering, from 12:30 to 2 p.m., will be geared to a specific population. A focus group for staff will be Jan. 29; a focus group for students will be January 30; and a group for faculty is Jan. 31.

Ten to 15 participants are needed for each group and all participants receive a free lunch during their session. Participants in each session have the opportunity to win a $25 gift card at the end of each gathering.

Pre-registration is required for participation. To register, contact Brighton at 797-1510 or saaviinfo@cc.usu.edu.
