Welcome to Junctions, the first-ever alumni website for the Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Program at the University of Washington Tacoma. This twice-yearly publication is intended to connect, reconnect, educate and perhaps even inspire alumni, faculty, current students and staff. One unique aspect of Junctions is that it also serves as an experiential learning space for current and former IAS students interested in web writing and publication. As a result, what you see here has been conceptualized, researched, written, produced and laid out by IAS students and alumni. Special thanks goes to IAS communication concentration senior Aiya Kenny and recent graduates Holli Johnson and Daniel Nash, also from the communication concentration. Aiya and Holli developed the overall format and content for the website, wrote most of the articles, obtained photos, and displayed massive amounts of patience in putting it all together. Daniel Nash created the visual look of the website and also came up with the title, Junctions, which he believes expresses the continuity of our professional lives and the interdisciplinarity embedded in the IAS program. We hope you enjoy this edition of Junctions, which features articles and updates about what alumni and faculty are up to, how the IAS program is developing, and a special feature on the growing important of social networking sites in the job market. If you have comments, questions, or would like to find out how you can be involved in the next edition, please e-mail Chris Demaske at iasnews@u.washington.edu.
