Our students will be using a new software technology, Synthetic Interviews, to post virtual job interviews. The work underway in our new Center for Advanced Entertainment and Learning Technologies may revolutionize online interviewing and recruiting.

Our success to-date has been made possible by the generosity of many organizations and friends who have invested not only in the University but also the future of the region. During the 2006-2007 fiscal year two hundred individuals contributed approximately $1-million in private support to the University. We ran a full-page ad in The Patriot-News thanking these individuals and the important role their support has played.
