Student News

Thiel using new service to distribute student news and updates

Yesterday afternoon, graduate and undergraduate students got a message from Thiel College’s new service partner Merit Pages.

Merit is a combination social media channel and professional accomplishment aggregator. It is both passive and active. The service accumulates and distributes student news and achievement. It will send updates to local government representatives, high school guidance counselors, hometown newspapers and student-identified family members. Students can curate and take ownership of these Merit profiles and fill them out with personal information. A student’s Thiel email is used to verify their account.

Students are encouraged to add photos and augment their own their profiles.

If a student asks about the service, the email sent yesterday was legitimate. It is not a scam attempt or spam email.

For more information, contact Dominick DiRienzo at ext. 2188.
