I am a sophomore Honors College student at UNLV, and I am interested in blogging for USAC. I already have a functioning blog at http://annalisapalmer.squarespace.com/ ,and I am also a freelance writer for One Green Planet (http://www.onegreenplanet.org/author/annalisa_palmer). I would love to be able to share my adventures in New Zealand, and I plan on writing blogs anyways for my family and myself. Thank you for your time and consideration–I very much appreciate it. Cheers, Annalisa Palmer

I am a recent graduate, and would like to start sharing my stories and experiences. I studied abroad with USAC in Bilbao, Spain. I am thinking of starting a blog anyway and thought this would be a good place to start!

Thank you for the consideration!

Hi Chris, not sure what issue you’re having but you can email sara.east@usac.edu if you’re interested in guest blogging. You must be a current, future, or alumni student of USAC.

Thank you for keeping the open discussion in this blog. So many colleges and universities are closing their blackboards, blogs, etc, because there is so much hate speech.

Hi! I tried submitting an application, but when I hit submit the website would say the page was down. But I would love to blog for USAC during my spring semester in Lyon, France!
