My role in STARS and this blog

Hello Everyone,

My name is Don Jason, and I am a junior journalism Major at Ohio University. I decided to start this blog because I recently joined STARS at the beginning of this school year after seeing their display at the school involvement fair. I started going to meeting, which gave me a forum to discuss the topics that you all see in this blog. This was a relief for me, because before I would think about these topics, however, I really had no one who could relate to them, to talk about them with. The same quarter I joined STARS I took a class about online journalism, and one of the on-going projects for the class was to find a relevant story that could be told over-time or in blog format and follow that story as it developed over the course of the quarter. I chose STARS... I feel that this blog will not only work for my class project but it will allow me to act as a webmaster for STARS in the future. I plan to keep the blog up and running even after the quarter is over and hopefully I can give it to the organization to maintain once I graduate.

Thanks for your time,
Don
