We’ve been busy at SPU bringing on new faculty and merging the Build A Solo Practice @ SPU blog with the SPU blog. Effective October 9, all Build A Solo Practice @ SPU blog posts will be exclusively on the SPU blog.  If you happen to be subscribed to both the BSP @ SPU blog and the SPU blog,  should you accidentally get more than one announcement of this blog post, please unsubscribe from one.  It is not our intention to duplicate but with the ‘marrying’ of both blogs there may have been some overlap.
