Ask Hiba! says Au revoir, Facebook! Aloha, WordPress!

Last summer, Hiba Fakhoury ‘09 used the social networking power of Facebook to reach out the Class of 2011. She joined the Middlebury Class of 2011 Facebook group and invited the incoming first-years to ask her anything about Middlebury. This initiative proved to be an overwhelming success. Not only that, but it caught the attention of uber-cool Seven Days Vermont.

Now, Hiba has found her own little niche in the interwebs: she launched her very own website, Ask Hiba! There, she has posted pictures of Middlebury College–including a suspiciously neat double in Stewart Hall– and she has arranged all of the questions and answers from last summer by topic. That, my friends, is dedication!

So, hop on over to Ask Hiba! especially if you’re a first year. She’s still accepting questions at askhiba [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thank you Sarah.
If I may add that it is my hope that this initiative will grow to include a group of dedicated students in order to provide a good resource for incoming first year students. Therefore, I want to extend an invitation to any interested member of the Middlebury College Community to contribute to the webpage by emailing askhiba@gmail.com, suggestions and comments are appreciated.
I also want to thank students Kim Ammons ‘11, Sofia Zinger ‘11 and Amanda Lee ‘11 for handling questions on the Middlebury Class of 2012 Facebook page, and encourage members of the group to forward some of the questions and their answers in order to be included.
Finally, and in the past 10 hours, Ask Hiba! has been viewed 2,709 times. Thank you all, and please contact me with ideas/contributions.

We’re happy to have Hiba as a Middblogger for next year as well! She will be focusing on SGA and commons topics.

Congrats to her on a fantastic site that is both useful and expandable for years to come!
