When NMSU graduate student Anton Magallanez told students at Fall Orientation about the new NMSU Directory, he later blogged, “Their replies: ‘Sick!’ and ‘Oh nice, that makes sense!’” Now, Anton is teaching two undergrad classes, and he’s using the Red Rover First Year Experience Curriculum** to educate his students about online identity. After all, helping students develop positive digital identities sets them up for success in an increasingly digital age. To follow his progress, check out his blog and follow him on Twitter.

The social media-savvy members of the Warrior Entertainment Board at Lewis-Clark State College use many different online tools to reach out to group members and the student body at large. With programming ranging from concerts, movies, and lectures, to comedy nights, dances, and magic shows, Warrior Entertainment uses the LCSC Student Directory, their website**, Facebook, and Myspace pages to drive membership and promote upcoming events to their community.

Now, joining Red Rover is as easy as sending a text message. A new member can simply text his or her email address to *|MMERGE3|*’s dedicated phone number, and will then receive an email confirmation with more information. It’s a great way to take advantage of the excitement of the moment—at orientations, campus events, or even staff meetings.

As an actor, dancer, and musician, Jenkins has auditioned for America’s Got Talent, and is working toward a career in blue-painted performance. Click below to hear him play:
