University Visitor's Network: A Valuable Resource Tool for Prospective College Students and Parents
When John Brice, CEO of Campus Publishers, was searching schools online with his college-bound daughter, they discovered how fragmented the information was, and the idea for University Visitor's Network was born. The new information portal for college bound students, enrolled students, parents and admissions counselors not only provides the necessary information regarding academics and cost for each school, it also includes a broad palette of photos, videos, and links that paint an informative picture of the lifestyle on campus and the local community. With a Community LifestyleSearch Tool, UVN provides a local search into the university and community in which the school is located.
