Facebook has launched a new page on the social networking site specifically for colleges and universities that is geared to help students engage with various communities and organizations on their given campus. From sharing tips on how to best utilize Facebook on-campus, to creating events, publicizing your club or group or connecting with fellow dorm-mates, this page is ideal for anyone who is involved with a college or university campus. This new page not only assists students; companies that offer products or services for college students can leverage their brands on the site by offering discounts for purchasing goods on the page.
This is a valuable tool for individuals or groups looking to get more involved and integrated with their college campus. Those concerned with promoting their products to college-aged kids are also seeing a new avenue for marketing these items.
Gone are the days when you needed to walk to the student center to review the message board for upcoming events or to find out more information about a particular organization, club or party. All of this information can now be consumed at your fingertips.

Recently I needed to figure out how to use the chimney starter for the weber grill at our company BBQ. With no directions in the box, I resorted to my favorite solution – You Tube videos. Within 5 minutes I watched a video that showed me in a clear and entertaining manner how to use the starter and not torch myself and burn down the house in the process. Nice.
The rising cost of college education forces too many students to take on high loan debt burdens and many have to work long hours that interfere with their academic study. In this difficult economy, when competition for jobs has increased and at the same time student’s ability to pay for college has decreased, it is important for the federal government to make smart investments in our students. It is believed that these investments will make our young society and our economy more competitive in the global marketplace.
