Last year, we made our second appearance at the NACAC National Conference, held in Austin, TX. A few presentations stand out. Mary Chase- Assistant Vice President for Enrollment at Creighton University was not only engaging as a presenter, but she shared some terrific insight into Creighton’s embrace of Web 2.0.

I’m talking about $20,000 dollars. Who wants this scholarship? The madness. Who wants free money to pay for their education? Yeah, we know you all do, but this is tough.

For this big scholarship, though I admire the hustle, brown nosing isn’t going to work:)
Zinch is approaching its birthday (we’re 1 year old) next month. Without letting the cat out of the bag, I will say we have some long anticipated releases that will coincide with arguably the best month of the year. We’re hoops fans over here :)
So what do we have to show? 300,000+ users, almost 500 colleges, yeah, yeah yeah… You want results, right? Well, we do too. We’ve heard from many students and colleges about successes they’ve had using Zinch. A couple days ago I pinged Brad Ward, Electronic Communication Coordinator (their web dude) at Butler University. Butler has seen some great results. Let me share…
