Hi Ambassadors,

I wanted to bring your attention to two great stories about our project that have recently come out. 

Georgetown Campus Ambassador Rob Pongsajapan and his coworkers at the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS) at GU have put together a video of Professor Rochelle Davis talking about assigning her students to write Wikipedia articles through the Public Policy Initiative as part of their "Teaching Commons" site. Many thanks to Rob and crew! I encourage you to watch the short video to see how excited professors are about our project.

Second, I pushed a blog post live on the Wikimedia Foundation's Community blog today profiling our Montana State University pod, Mike Cline and Bonnie McCallum. Bonnie and Mike have done an exceptional job this term, and I encourage you all to read about the great stuff they've been starting on the Bozeman campus:

I'm always on the lookout for great stories -- these will be sprinkled throughout our final report to our funder -- so if you know of any, please send them my way! I'm also happy to have you tell me you think you'd be a great person to profile; don't be shy! If you've had a great interaction with a student or if you know of any great work that you think is worth highlighting, let me know.

LiAnna
