I'm still digesting it myself as I consider the implications for my teaching (I had to stop teaching a class that I was pumped to teach -- but have an AMAZING person who is stepping in to take over) and for my day-to-day duties at Champlain College. This semester will be a time of transition and adjustment with lots of unknowns.

But....

What do I know?

I know that I'm 100% committed to seeing the Division of Business of Champlain College continue to be innovative, successful and getting students ready for the careers that are hungry for individuals who are thinkers, doers, movers and shakers.  I know that I'm 100% committed to the students: my students in the Marketing classes I'm teaching, my students in the class that I had to let go of, and to all the students within the Division.

So today I take a deep breath....or two....and tomorrow I dive in!

As part of the transition to my new job my old blog at http://champlainprofessor.blogspot.com will be going away.  I have made the decision to blog differently so this is my farewell post on Champlain Professor.  A new blog will show up sometime soon with a different focus.

In the mean time as I get my sea legs for the ride ahead follow me on twitter (@ejyoung67) and most importantly follow my amazing students through our class hashtags: #mkt250 (Internet Marketing), #mkt340 (Non-profit and Social Marketing), #mkt420 (Marketing Management) and #ebc460 (Internet Issues and Strategies -- which will now be taught by the amazing @karlynm).
