I am sure most of our newer Old Scotch Collegians will be familiar with the explosion of social networking that the electronic media provides. What you might not know is that OSC has both a Facebook and a Linked-In page. Just click on the links, and you'll go straight there. If you need a hand, ask the young people in your life (prepare for some eye-rolling!) or call the OSC Office, and we'll help.
Our trusty General Manager, Lance Quartermaine, spends a lot of time keeping these updated, and I'd encourage OSC's of all ages to join us on Linked-in and "friend" us on Facebook (I still can't quite come to terms with "friend" as a verb - perhaps that's the legacy of a Scotch College education!).
We would love to see our student and young professional OSC's, in particular, joining the Linked-In page. This is going to be an increasingly important resource to match up OSC's who are looking for career advice, professional mentoring, and possibly jobs with more senior OSCs in our network. Make an effort to update your personal profile when you join Linked-In so that we can get to understand what your skills and educational achievements are, as well as your professional and personal interests.
And make sure you join the Facebook page and feel free to post some photos of yourself when you get together with other OSC's. We'd love to see some vintage Scotch College photos from any OSC, and the Facebook page is a great way for you to have a laugh at how much hair you used to have, and maybe even re-connect with some mates that you've lost track of.
I promise to find some old school-related photos and kick things off, so keep an eye out on our Facebook Page…
Michael Silbert ('79)
President OSC
