COCONUT CREEK, FL -- 11/13/07 --
Amid International Education Week 2007
this November 12-16, student success advocate welcome2college.com, Inc.
today announced the launch of its Web site located at
www.welcome2college.com, serving as a one-stop online destination where
college and university students may access both academic and non-academic
lifestyle-related information, advice, resources, support and special
offers to help them succeed before and after graduation.
welcome2college.com is a content-driven, advertising-supported Web site
where current and prospective college and university students enjoy
24/7/365 access to a variety of topic-specific content channels to help
them manage life in and beyond the classroom. Channels include campus
safety, college survival, personal finance, health/fitness, career center,
alumni, parent's place, high school student prep and merchant
offers/discounts. The company also publishes "The w2c," a free monthly
electronic opt-in newsletter that spotlights the welcome2college.com's
hottest and latest-breaking offers, content additions and student success
stories.
"Studies have shown that today's college student is the first emerging
adult segment that grew up with the Web. As such, this group collectively
looks to and leverages the Internet for a large portion of their needs --
information, products, services and otherwise," notes Roshelle
Jones-Hirvonen, founder and CEO of welcome2college.com, Inc. "Our site
provides higher education students convenient single-point access to a
myriad of resources that'll help them succeed from a 'whole life'
perspective, while also offering advertisers and merchants the opportunity
to contextually target a desirable and highly receptive consumer niche.
It's a win-win all around."
Further validating the company's concept and approach, numerous companies
elected to advertise on welcome2college.com for today's launch, including
industry-leading online retailer CableOrganizer.com, e-Health category
leader eDiets.com, InsureMyDormRoom, ChristArt, Stadium Pal,
LifeOrganizers.com, Great Management and Ruthy Watson's Innovative
Wellness. Those interested in advertising on welcome2college.com may
contact Michelle Carroll directly at mcarroll@thew2c.com to request the
company's media kit.
