UMSI-Discovery Site Text (umsi-path@googlegroups.com)

[Kimberly Springer (Google Drive)]

I've shared an item with you.

Hey UMSI Path Group (which sounds so professional!)---here's a draft of the text for the site. Feel free to revise it. 

Ying, in some instances I wasn't sure how much or how little text you wanted. Please note where this is the case and I can make changes.

Choice is yours to discover.

[a]Kimberly Springer:

I think the Star Wars language should be retained. I'll need help, though, to use it throughout the site.

[b]Kimberly Springer:

I like this language, just with spelling out "them."

[c]Kimberly Springer:

We might have to revert to the "List of..." language on this page and all the others

Google Drive: create, share, and keep all your stuff in one place.

[Edgar Nuñez]

welcome aboard is fantastic!!!

just wondering if it should be 'the choice is yours to discover' or 'choices are yours to make' or perhaps a good yoga type line: "Yours to discover, choice is.  Yeesssssss." (I'll have to re-watch star wars.. speaking of, I do have the original trilogy on blu-ray for whoever is down for a viewing party)

Hmmmmmm. Interest you, we think these courses will.

Ha, love it. Thanks for putting this together Kimberly! I'll drop stuff in as I go, and making text edits is easy. I'll let y'all handle that bit (channeling my inner Edgar).
