“I-can-get-my-institution-to-the-top” Challenge Update: Top 40 of Higher Ed Experts’ College Preliminary Rankings

August 15th, 2007 Karine Joly No Comments

A couple of weeks ago, I launched a new breed of college rankings: Higher Ed Experts’ College Rankings.

While I can’t reveal if my ultimate goal is to compete with US News & World Report ;-0, I can confirm that the HEE College Rankings will be published this Friday – the day the magazine’s list will be released.

You still have a few hours (about 30 or so) to try to bump up your institution’s rank before the final results are announced on this blog on August 17.

So, take the “I-can-get-my-institution-to-the-top” challenge: tell all your colleagues to sign up for a free HEE membership at www.higheredexperts.com/register and let’s have some fun for a change!

Need some help to rally your troops, just use the YouTube video I created for the challenge (viewed already more than 220 times).
