About Me

I started this blog as a way of building an online community of current and past Ivy Tech paralegal students, as well as letting people interested in our program know what we're up to. This blog is not sponsored by Ivy Tech. No way, no how.

My name is Linda Kampe, and I'm the program chair of Paralegal Studies in Lafayette, Indiana. My office is in Ivy Hall 1166. Stop by and chat. For best results, make an appointment, so I know to expect you. And if you bring your own cup, I'll make you tea. Because hey, we're not animals.

And a Word about Word Usage!

Let's give a shout out to Nick Vester for passing along this article about correct word choice! This article is written by someone even more persnickety than myself, if such a thing is possible. (Okay, a little more persnickety than myself.) Or maybe I have just never really grasped the whole nauseous/nauseated thing.

But the point is that using words correctly makes you look smart; using them incorrectly makes you look, well, you know. And who can argue with that?

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
