CougarCast turns one

CougarCast -- the college's podcast -- has been around for one year.

 

Needless to say, the project has had a lot to say. Over the course of a year, CougarCast has featured more than 35 Collin College faculty, staff and students talking about everything under the sun – from “Eureka!” moments to travel to global warming to keeping New Year’s resolutions.

 

As the calendar turns and CougarCast enters its second year, the college wants to encourage Collin College faculty to explore opportunities to partner with the podcast and provide feedback.

 

Also, CougarCast organizers encourage anyone and everyone to send in ideas for future podcasts. Furthermore, anyone interested in being an interviewer or interviewee are encourage to contact Garrison Reid at greid@ccccd.edu
