There is a very cool new Website that includes information about 34 Philadelphia area colleges. The site, which was highlighted in a NYT article on Monday, was developed by college students in cooperation with the Philly Inquirer. It's purpose is to give students "a view of the city and its vibrant campuses, and to provide students a platform for their blogging, photos, videos, and journalism work." There are some really cool tools on the site including a map of all 34 colleges, a calendar of events on the campuses, and a question of the week. It's tagline is "34 colleges,1 city. College life in Philadelphia." Great idea and a great site. The partnership with the Inquirer is key to promoting it. Nice example of strong work for any consortium of colleges thinking about a joint venture on the web.
