The blog will go on!
A number of readers have contacted me to ask whether this blog will continue after I leave office as President of DCU in approximately two hours time. The answer is yes. In fact, as indicated previously, I am hoping to develop it somewhat over the weeks ahead – more on that again shortly.
In the meantime, as my term of office finally comes to an end today, I want to express my warm thanks to all readers here, those from DCU and those from elsewhere in Ireland and abroad. It is hard to express how great a privilege it has been to be President of DCU, but I also look forward to new things in my life and to seeing how DCU will go on from strength to strength. As, I hope, will higher education more generally, here and everywhere.

Yes, long may this blog continue. I only recently stumbled upon it, yet it is already a firm favourite.
I hope you enjoyed your final day. I’ll be sure to raise a glass this evening to your future and, as you say, to the future of higher education.

Another relative newbie here from the e-learning arena, I really enjoy the blog on a daily basis and I am glad to hear that it is set to continue.

Glad to hear the blog is to continue, Ferdinand (will you have to change the name? I got funding for Harvard, so I’m off in September, but I’ll keep an eye on the ‘new’ blog.

No, Cormac, I’ll still be ‘Ferdinand’. The name doesn’t transfer to the new President… 🙂

I hope you’ll be raising several glasses tonight, to celebrate your freedom!

Congratulations on ten very successful years! I hope you and the family will be taking some time off before making any decisions on what comes next.
I have to say that this entry’s ‘possibly related posts’ amused me very much!

This is the greatest nonsenese I ever heared off.
