Follow @CollegeVisit on Twitter for on-going information.

If you read Eric Yaverbaum's bio on the "Meet Eric" page of the Ericho Communications web site, a company he founded in 2005, you'll discover that he's a nationally known public relations strategist, communications expert, author, and a dad.

It was in his role as a dad, make that dad of a college-bound teen, that he and his daughter, Cole, decided to write a book about the very thing that had taken center stage in their life: the college admissions process. 

The result: Life's Little College Admissions Insights: Top Tips From the Country's Most Acclaimed Guidance Counselors.* The co-authored book (by Eric and his daughter, Cole Yaverbaum) was published in January 2010, by Morgan James.

Eric will share some of the insights he and Cole gleaned from their interviews with more than 300 high school guidance counselors and admissions consultants during #CampusChat, Wednesday at 9 PM, Eastern, on Twitter.

Koofers is coming to CampusChat

The next #CampusChat on Twitter will be Wednesday, May 19 at 9PM ET. We'll be talking about achieving academic success through Koofers social learning community. It's a thrill and an honor to have Michael Rihani as a guest on #CampusChat. I have interviewed Michael several times on topics related to start-ups and have always appreciated his insight into building a business that serves the higher-ed community. As a new start-up, the Koofers story is one that inspires -- just two years old, they've already grown to a network of more than 300,000 and are in 2000 colleges and universities. Below is an article published today on the Inside VTKnowledgeWorks blog.

Michael Rihani, CSO & Co-Founder of Koofers will be the featured guest of CampusChat, created by Z. Kelly Queijo, president of Smart College Visit, Inc.  Smart College Visit, Inc. is the recent first place winner of the Open Business Concept Competition at the second annual VT KnowledgeWorks Entrepreneurship Summit.
