Casey Bisson at Plymouth State University up in central New Hampshire is working to make PSU an all WordPress environment. Casey was a speaker at the WordPress Education I helped put together last year, speaking on his Scriblio library project (built on WordPress). He recently sent an email on his latest work to move the school’s web content management to a WordPress MU installation, along with links to posts on his blog. Hopefully Casey will have time to take a spot on the program for the April 2010 WordPress University workshop — in the meantime check out his blog posts for all sorts of good information and inspiration.
