Development of Village Blog Channels Underway
November 2006: The staff of IMDiversity is at work on a series of new blogs that will serve as companion channels to our Multicultural Villages sites and THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online.
The blogs will be used to post different items about and from IMDiversity, our affiliates, and other sources of information we deem of to be of relevance and interest to our diverse audiences.
Contributions will be added by diverse editorial teams, and we invite visitors to both post comments and subscribe to syndicated feeds (RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3) on these channels in order to conveniently "keep in touch" with IMDiversity.
Among the sorts of postings you can expect to see are enhanced commentaries and "editors' notebook" entries following evolving stories on the Villages and in our fellow ethnic media outlets; time-sensitive Editors' Choice notices about career, employment, or educational opportunities that come our way (great jobs whose deadlines are close, local career events not posted on the Villages, special scholarship or internship announcements); announcements of new and noteworthy features added to our network of sites and online job tools; guest postings by regular friends of the Village; and more.
The new additions will be accessible at:

Added: International Channel at THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online
As part of our ongoing, phased renovation to our site THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online at http://www.black-collegian.com/, IMDiversity has added a new content channel focused on topics related to international work, study abroad, and foreign travel opportunities for African-American college students and other students of color.
The International channel at THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online replaces and expands upon the former "Study Abroad" content section, providing advice articles and resource tips related to employment opportunities for recent graduates, as well as feature articles of an international focus that are of concern to our readers.
The channel will also be a home for features related to global skills-building, bilingual opportunities, immigration-related concerns, and travel topics from an African-American and student perspective.
