Our day began with the final day of the Blog Summit.  Students participated in two workshops, ate a delicious lunch, and were addressed by Lt. Governor Bill Bolling and Washington Post reporter Michael Shear.  The first workshop of the day, students had the choice of participating in campaign finance or ethics in blogging.  The next workshop options included building and online community through blogging and another that focused on blogging and journalism.  We always look forward to the meals at Darden, and like before, the food was wonderful.  After lunch the group listened to the encouraging remarks of Lt. Governor Bill Bolling, followed by Michael Shear of the Washington Post.  Michael’s comments riled up the audience and led to some interesting responses by the bloggers.  The summit ended early in the afternoon.  Most of the group took advantage of the free time and worked on their culminating projects or took naps.

Sunday was the group’s day of relaxation.  Marc and the gang of hardworking managers took the CLP students to Scottsville to go tubing on the James River.  The group ate lunch on a little island during the tubing adventure.  Those who went had a great time relaxing and floating down the river.  When we got back to Bice, everyone broke into their groups to finish their final drafts of their culminating projects.
