A page from his diary May 21, 2009

Ferdinand Von Prondzynski, President of Dublin City University, was featured in The Irish Times yesterday, which is nothing new considering the huge amount of Irish media coverage that DCU gets. But surprisingly, the article only focused briefly on Ferdie’s views on the re-introduction of university fees. Instead, it showcased his talents as a blogger, which are considerable.

I definitely have a soft spot for Ferdie, mainly because of the huge effort he makes to engage with DCU students. As well as having Facebook, Bebo and Myspace pages, Ferdie has been blogging at Diary of a University President since June of last year. Anyone from DCU- check his stuff out. Anyone not from DCU but with an interest in the Eurovision, the Premier League, or the running of a university- check his stuff out.
