In efforts to keep SPA up-to-date on current events and news and to create new connections, SPA will now be using TUMBLR, TWITTER and FACEBOOK. If you do not already follow us, please do so!  These three websites however, are not only privy to users.  The links provided will allow you to follow our every move regardless if you have an account with these websites.

TUMBLR has become a valuable media tool.  It allows for instant micro-blogging of photographs, videos, links and text.

TWITTER will allow SPA to get immediate news updates from over 35 professional ‘tweeters’.  We are following everyone from The National Trust for Historic Preservation to the Museum of Modern Art to our very own SCAD District.  I will continue to check the websites of these groups for scholarship and internship opportunities, but will ‘re-tweet’ all information that I think will benefit SCAD students.

FACEBOOK remains our database for sending out invitations to our events.  It also is a good way to connect with other historic preservation students at SCAD.
