Where The Magic Happens: Part 4

Over the last few months, I’ve asked some higher ed web folks to show off where they work their magic. This time, it’s my turn. Here’s my office in Bentley Hall, built in the 1820′s and the first building on our campus. It’s neat to think about all the people over almost 200 years who have lived, learned and worked in this space. I’ve stitched together a few photos, but sadly you’re missing the wall with the corkboard and the retired numbers of students (and some part-timers) who have done awesome work for us over the years. You also can’t see my “Top Walker” plaque – I was the top money-raiser for the Meadville area March of Dimes in 2007.

I’ve added a few notes to the Flickr page.

Past Offices:
Brad Ward
Kyle James
Karine Joly

As I was sweating in my office (we don’t have A/C, yet – it’s a long story), I got to thinking about offices and our work spaces. I recently switched out the big, bulky, old fashioned desk I inherited when I moved (back) into the office I’m in now for a very simple one, with only an IKEA table. I think not having a lot of space for papers to accumulate keeps me focused.

I’m interested in your spaces and how it gets you or keeps you motived. I hope you’ll send or post photos of your space so I can link them here.

First on the block is Brad Ward at Butler University and BlogHighEd.org. He’s annotated the photo in Flickr, click on it for the notes.

Thanks, Brad, for sharing your space.
