What they are saying...

I like the idea that students can say to us ‘we’re interested in you.’ I’ve downloaded these kids and have them on our premier mailing list. And vice versa, we’re trying to build our engineering program here at Gonzaga. I can reach out to students that we think would be good candidates because Zinch information is comprehensive. Zinch provides me an opportunity to ask questions."
- Julie McCullogh, Dean of Admissions, Gonzaga University

As Director of Admissions at a small liberal arts college who is constantly challenged with getting our message out and providing relevant information to students in the way they want to receive it, I find Zinch a perfect compliment to our approach—we’re meeting students totally on their terms, and both the College and the student benefit."
- Jacqueline D. Gregory, Director of Admission, Hartwick College

Facebook made this huge leap in the direction of substance, away from fluff (Myspace, etc.). Zinch makes another leap toward substance. You look at any Facebook profile, and you get a good feel for that person. With Facebook, right away, you get a feel for the human behind it all. Sites like Zinch have the potential to take this even further, and bravo to Zinch for being a pioneer. For me, admissions offices are just beginning to grasp how Web 2.0 can affect college admissions."
- Ben Jones, Communications Director, MIT

I am actively involved in both the macro and micro processes of recruiting students, and through these processes, I have seen that Zinch’s philosophy of a student being 'more than a test score' is absolutely true; the internet is one of the most powerful tools that we have to connect directly with the interests and passions of students. Zinch is a really cool idea in recruiting."
- Jonathan Maher, Interim Director, Fresno Pacific University

It seems like there is no pressure- there is just this air of openness and fun about it. I think a student is going to see this and think, ‘this is great.’ It's much like visiting the right college campus- when you visit Zinch you just feel ‘this is where I need to be.’ Other sites can be a little cold and not as inviting. You feel like you're gonna have fun on the website… elements of the Myspace and Facebook. It's also very different in its approach. The people behind Zinch are different too."
- Densil R. R. Porteous II, Associate Director/Creative Director/Webmaster, Stanford

I have been with the university for 20 years. all in the enrollment management capacity, currently the director of marketing, but have also been the director of admissions, I know how important it is to reach students in their environment and Zinch is definitely a student friendly place.....the tool is incredible and allows so many opportunities to reach students."
- Julie Ulseth, Kettering University

I have been in Admissions for ten years and have worked with numerous vendors that lack the creative edge I see with Zinch."
- S. Trevor Thorn, Sam Houston State University

I have been very impressed with the site to date. While you guys have some crazy jargon - it works! The filter truly is filterific and we’ve been able to identify some leads that may have otherwise never popped up on our radar."
- Creighton Dent, E-communications Coordinator, Azusa Pacific University

We are offering a 'Zinch' student a $14,000 award! This is big news for us and (hopefully) the student as well. This is proof the system works . . . we would not have 'found' her without Zinch."
