Universities connecting to students via Web 2.0
Like many universities across the nation, when it came time to revamp their admissions web site, Lipscomb University in Nashville chose to add more interactive features for prospective students. The new web site features a scholarship calculator, student journals, and customized admissions information; in addition, students who are admitted to the university may also take advantage of The Quad, Lipscomb’s private, online, social-networking community. Students have the opportunity to meet one another online, find a roommate, and search for other students with similar interests. Lipscomb’s online community was recently featured in The Tennessean, along with Belmont University’s Belmont Buddies community. Stein is very excited to be the provider of both online communities, with The Quad running our CommunityYou product and Belmont Buddies using the precursor to CommunityYou. If you would like more information about CommunityYou or would like to schedule a demo, please contact Lee Thrash at lthrash@steincommunications.com or 404.494.4399.
Our friend Bill
It is particularly noteworthy to us when our clients and friends are elevated to high places. As a regular exhibitor and supporter (since 1968) of the National Association of College Admission Counselors (NACAC), we were extremely pleased to learn of the election of Bill McClintick as the president of this worthwhile national organization. Bill is the director of college counseling at The Mercersburg Academy, an extremely valued and long-time Stein client. Bill’s reputation as a straight shooter and above board practitioner in the admissions and college counseling field previously earned him the highly respected position of vice president for admission practices of NACAC prior to his election as president. He is experienced on both sides of the desk, having held admissions positions at both Hartwick and Kalamazoo Colleges prior to arriving at Mercersburg. We wish Bill well during the coming year, and congratulate him for the distinction he has brought not only to himself but to Mercersburg as well.
