Welcome to iseroma.com’s new design
December 3rd, 2009After two years, iseroma.com gets a new look today. I hope that you like the redesign: brighter, cleaner, happier.
Besides looking good, the new design is geared to encourage more students and families to interact with the site. I’m hoping that students, especially my advisees, will post original content and that everyone will feel free to interact with each other and write comments.
Go ahead! Find a post and then write a comment!
The redesign is only one of the ways I’m hoping to improve iseroma.com. There will also be more improvements over Winter Break. If you have ideas about how to improve iseroma.com, please leave a comment!

You can chat anytime. Just click on the “Live” page above. Tune in on Tuesdays from 8 to 9 p.m. if you also want to use iseroma live as your way to do your office hours!
