Stein news: September 2007
by Sherry Wade, Stein | September 18th, 2007NACAC is around the corner!
If you’ll be attending the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) conference next week in Austin, we’d be delighted for you to drop by and visit with us at booth 321. We’ll be showcasing some exciting new campaigns, as well as our web products CommunityYou and ContactPlus.
Nice guys do finish first
We at Stein were recently elated to hear of the election of Mike Maxey as the 11th president of Roanoke College. It especially gets our attention when an admissions, advancement, or college relations professional assumes the presidency of his or her institution — Mike embodies all three. Our relationship with Mike goes back seventeen years; therefore, we are not surprised with his election. Always efficient, always asking the best of us, always fair, always praising when praise was due — in other words, one of the best, and, yes, one of the nicest. Yes, they do finish first.
CommunityYou — now’s the time
“CommunityYou has done well for us. It was fascinating to go to receptions for admitted students on the east coast and have them meeting each other because they had previously met on CommunityYou. It does build community.”
– Mike Maxey, former VP College Relations & Dean of Admissions & Financial Aid, Roanoke College
