Humphrey blogging initiative

A little bit of self-promotion can’t hurt when it’s my own link blog, right?

Emphasizing the ‘Public’ in Public Affairs

“Emphasizing the ‘Public’ in Public Affairs” is a grant-funded initiative at the University of Minnesota’s Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs to infuse a traditional academic institution with the new media tools of “Web 2.0.”

Proposed and led by Humphrey graduate student Graham Lampa, the project has partnered with multiple Humphrey research centers to leverage the University’s UThinkblogging system to develop a bottom-up public outreach network.

The project was funded by a Service and Process Improvement Fund grant from the University of Minnesota’s Office of Service and Continuous Improvement.
