AUSTIN, Texas, January 31, 2011 – Dell and the University of Texas at Austin’s RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service are working together for the fifth consecutive year to help fuel the entrepreneurial spirit of the best and brightest young minds with the 2011 Dell Social Innovation Competition.

The program inspires university students to approach global social problems through entrepreneurship, technology and sustainability and empowers them with unique skills and opportunities to succeed in a globally competitive workforce. The contestants with the best idea and venture plan will be awarded a $50,000 grand prize.

The Dell Social Innovation Competition is open to higher education students across the globe who have a passion for a social issues and a plan to make a difference. All applications must be submitted online by Feb. 14, 2011.

Last year, more than 1,000 entries from teams in 55 countries representing 350 colleges and universities presented ideas that addressed issues such as environmental sustainability, poverty, health, women’s rights and housing.

“True change comes from the ground up. Many times it’s the small ideas that evolve into revolutionary organizations,” said Trisa Thompson, vice president of Corporate Responsibility, Dell. “Dell was founded on these ideals and we want to build on the entrepreneurial spirit these students possess and equip them with the tools they need to turn their innovative ideas for social good into a reality.”

“We like to create a culture that empowers students to think big,” stated Suzi Sosa, associate director for programs at the RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service, a research unit at the University of Texas’ LBJ School of Public Affairs. “This competition extends that opportunity to students worldwide, giving them a platform to share their idea on a global stage and possibly even the chance to fund and launch it. Our vision is a world in which thousands of students are daring to make a difference.”

New this year is a university partner network comprised of 100 higher education institutions that are leading the way in teaching social entrepreneurship and supporting student entrepreneurs. These organizations are given access to resources to help build their own social entrepreneurship program.

The Dell Social Innovation Competition is comprised of three stages:

• Stage One: Students must enter ideas online by Feb. 14, 2011. Projects will be accessible to the public online. A panel of judges will select 90 projects and an additional 10 will be chosen by online voters, which will be announced on March 1, 2011.
• Stage Two: Semifinalists will be invited to develop their ideas into detailed venture plans and create video pitches that are due April 1, 2011. The plans will be judged by leaders in academia, business, government and the non-profit sector. From these semifinalists, five finalist teams will be selected.
• Stage Three: The five finalists will be announced on April 15, 2011 , and invited to travel to Austin, Texas, in order to pitch their ideas live in front of a panel of expert judges.

The final event will be held on May 16, 2011, at The University of Texas at Austin. The grand prize winners will be announced at a reception following the presentations.
The first place winner will receive $50,000; second place, $20,000; and third place, $10,000. Each of these cash awards is given to help the contestants turn their ideas into a new business or non-profit organization.

Additionally, entrants are eligible to win a $10,000 Dell Technology Award, $10,000 Tomberg Prize in Environmental Sustainability or $10,000 People’s Choice award.

Over 350 schools join SEED Center; Will Create Sustainability Programs

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., January 26, 2011 – In just three short months, 355 community colleges have joined the Sustainability Education & Economic Development (SEED) Center, www.TheSEEDCenter.org, pledging leadership in green job training, and reaping the benefits. The SEED Center, launched in October 2010, is a leadership initiative, resource center, and sharing environment for community colleges, created by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) and ecoAmerica, that provides strategic guidance and resources for schools to dramatically scale-up sustainability education and workforce training programs to provide students with the skills to join the new, green economy.

In addition to the plethora of free curricular resources, The SEED Center offers a powerful set of tools to enhance members’ sustainability program launch and implementation including guides, case studies, and hands-on training. AACC opened the 18th annual Workforce Development Institute (WDI) conference today with the first hands-on training, a special SEED Center workshop entitled “Building a Green Workforce: Charting a Green Course for Community Colleges.”

Marcy Drummond, vice president of workforce and economic development at Los Angeles Trade Technical College helped to conduct the workshop. “It’s exciting to provide colleges with technical assistance, helpful information such as job growth projections, and tactics for building key industry partnerships,” she said. “As a SEED Center member who has been involved in workforce development for a number of years, I am honored to share my experiences to help other colleges grow their clean energy and green economy programs.” The SEED Center workshop also helped colleges navigate the maze of industry certifications, tie green jobs to training programs, and learn about enhancing overall campus sustainability initiatives.

“Colleges got a lot out of today’s workshop, and left with action plans,” said fellow instructor, Roger Ebbage, Energy Management Instructor at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon. “We were able to share our best practices in solar and wind power, alternative fuels, energy efficiency, and green building, which was helpful for our colleagues no matter if they had established programs or were just starting out.”

Other events at the Workforce Development Institute will feature a demonstration of the SEED Center and information on how to become involved.

Eight educators from SEED member community colleges received stipends from the AACC to attend WDI and the sustainability pre-conference. These schools included:

• Alfred State College
• Cape Cod Community College
• College of Lake County
• Des Moines Area Community College
• Kentucky Career and Technical System
• Lakeshore Technical College
• Mount Hood Community College
• Santa Fe Community College

Users of the free SEED center have access to resources in areas including renewable energy, energy efficiency, green building, and emerging technologies. Resources include curricula, training materials, industry projections and certifications, funding and partnership tools, and a robust online sharing environment (wiki, discussion boards) providing faculty a national community with which to share best practices and learnings.

“Community colleges are uniquely positioned to be leaders of the sustainability movement, focusing on local economic development and partnering with business and government to provide access to jobs,” said Dr. Walter G. Bumphus, president of AACC. “The Workforce Development Institute brings practitioners together from colleges nationwide. We are pleased to offer them The SEED Center and its tools.”

Maloof Skateboarding – which produces the world’s greatest skateboarding event, The Maloof Money Cup – and the Digital College Network (DCNLive.com) have teamed up to launch Maloof U Skate Madness, an online video contest to find the best college skaters in the country. The four finalists will win a trip to Panama City during Spring Break to compete for their share of the $10,000 cash and prize purse and a chance to claim the title of the best college skateboarder in the country.

“We’re really excited to partner with DCN for this contest,” said Joe Maloof, founder of Maloof Skateboarding and owner of the Palms Casino Resort and the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. “Every March, college campuses around the country explode with excitement surrounding the March Madness basketball event. We wanted to bring the same camaraderie and competitive spirit between colleges to the world of skateboarding. We’re going to give college students the opportunity to represent their schools and bring the four best college skaters down to Panama City, Florida, during Spring Break to compete for $10,000 in cash and prizes.“

To enter the contest, hopeful contenders must first register as a member on the DCNLive website, the student-exclusive website of the Digital College Network, then upload their best skate footage. The top 64 videos will be posted online and DCNLive’s members will rate the footage and vote on their favorite skaters. The 16 skaters earning the most votes will be evaluated by a panel of pros and celebrity judges, who will narrow the field to four finalists. Those four finalists will compete in a one-day competition in March during Spring Break festivities at Spinnaker Beach Club in Panama City, Fla., the No. 1 Spring Break destination in the country.

“It seemed natural to do something on our country’s college campuses that would really fuel the excitement for skateboarding among these kids and to do it in a way that college students can relate to, and that’s how we came up with the idea for Maloof U Skate Madness,” said Maloof. Chris Esposito, president and CEO of the Digital College Network, agrees.

“We have long known skating was a very popular sport for young people, especially college students,” he said. “We are delighted to partner with the Maloof Money Cup to find the best college skateboarder in America. We look forward to making the Maloof U Skate Madness championship one of the most coveted prizes on the American college scene. Panama City is a great venue for the finals, and we are excited about making this an annual event as part of our Spring Break celebration.”

Portions of submitted videos will be broadcast on DCNLive’s on-campus digital network, which airs content for and by students in campus bookstores and recreation centers nationwide. In addition to the broadcasts, DCNLive will encourage entries through viral marketing conducted by DCN Dynamos, the company’s on-campus representatives. DCNLive will also cover the event and broadcast results, including competition footage and interviews with the finalists.

Program Helps Students Reach Their Potential through Technology Training, Career Building Skills and Community Leadership

SANTA CLARA, Calif., January 19, 2011 – Kno, Inc., the new educational tablet that revolutionizes the way students learn, today announced a new Student Ambassador Program that creates a significant opportunity for students to realize their full potential while attending college. Kno will offer students who have demonstrated a passion for education and technology an opportunity to get real-world training and experience.

WASHINGTON, January 18, 2011 – The Internal Revenue Service is recommending a money-saving tax tip this season — most college students and first-time filers can use Free File from IRS to electronically prepare and e-file their federal tax return for free.

IRS Free File offers something for everyone through brand-name software or online fillable forms. It’s offered exclusive through IRS.gov through a partnership with commercial tax preparation companies.

“Free File saves you money and time preparing and e-filing your federal tax returns,” said Cecille M. Jones, acting director, IRS Electronic Tax Administration and Refundable Credits. “Free File really does make taxes less taxing.”

People with a 2010 Adjusted Gross Income of $58,000 or less qualify to use IRS Free File brand-name tax software. People who make more than $58,000 can use Free File Fillable Forms. Just go to www.IRS.gov/freefile to get started.

The best part: There’s no need to be a tax expert — the Free File software does all the hard work. It completes the forms, does the math and helps find tax breaks.

Free File is especially helpful to college students who generally have incomes related to scholarships or part-time work. Because college students sometimes can have unusual tax situations, the IRS, in addition to recommending Free File, offers these suggestions:

• Check with your parents: Depending upon the circumstances, they may still be eligible to claim you as a dependent. Your parents can claim you or you can claim yourself, but not both. So, talk over your taxes before you start.
• E-file and use direct deposit: When you combine e-file and direct deposit you can get your refund in as few as 10 days.
• Grants, scholarships, fellowships and ROTC payments: Some payments you receive are taxable and some are not; see Publication 970, Benefits for Education for details.
• Explore education tax breaks. Again, Publication 970, available at IRS.gov, will have details.
• Don’t wait until April 18, the deadline for 2011. There is no need to cram or panic. IRS Free File is available online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at www.irs.gov/freefile.

Have more questions? Visit www.IRS.gov for answers to frequently asked questions, tax tips and you can even track your refund. And remember: go through www.IRS.gov/freefile to be eligible for Free File offerings.

Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center Educates on Family Healing and Communication

CHICAGO (January 10, 2011) – Two of the nation’s leading experts in eating disorder treatment and family therapy will make their treatment advice available online, free to the public this month.

Kimberly Dennis, M.D., medical director, and Stan Selinger, PhD, family therapy coordinator, from Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center, are the featured speakers for MentorCONNECT’s January teleconference on Family Healing and Communication. Dr. Dennis and Dr. Selinger will present on how patients can best communicate their needs for support to their loved ones and how loved ones can best offer support to the patient during the recovery process. The teleconference takes place on Wednesday, January 12, 2011 from 8:00 p.m. – 9:15 p.m. (CST).

Dr. Dennis and Dr. Selinger specialize in eating disorder and addiction treatment at Timberline Knolls, a leading private residential treatment center near Chicago for eating disorders, alcoholism, drug addiction and mood disorders, with or without trauma, a dual diagnosis or a co-occurring disorder.

“One of the biggest roadblocks to recovery is a lack of support from loved ones, but many of those suffering from an eating disorder don’t understand how to reach out and ask for help, and on the reverse side – many loved ones don’t know how to help,” says Dr. Dennis. “Groups like MentorCONNECT provide survivors with an educational outlet like these monthly teleconferences, and I am happy to offer my own expertise on the subject.”

A global online eating disorders mentoring community, MentorCONNECT provides individuals with the means to break through the isolation of eating disorders by sharing the tools of recovery in supporting relationships.

Members connect both individually and in groups with mentors to share experiences, provide guidance, and help each other through the struggles and triumphs of their journeys. Each month, MentorCONNECT holds a free teleconference with nationally-recognized eating disorders experts and survivors open to all MentorCONNECT members and the general community.

“Eating disorders affect not only the person suffering from the disease, but also their families and loved ones. The importance of family in recovering from an eating disorder cannot be overstated,” adds Dr. Selinger. “A teleconference is a great way to communicate with those individuals who seek information, help and guidance in order to find lifelong recovery from their disease, and for the loved ones and family members trying to support them in the best way possible.

To sign up for this free event, please visit www.familyhealing.eventbrite.com.

LINCOLN, Neb., January 10, 2011 – Neebo, a nationwide network of college bookstores, today announced plans to give away 100,000 textbook rentals, worth an estimated $6 million. The giveaway celebrates the launch of Neebo’s new website, www.neebo.com , which provides students with everything needed to enjoy the best possible college experience and get more college for their money.

Neebo.com will offer the most complete selection of new, used, and rental textbooks for college students, as well as college gear and other college-branded accessories. Students, parents and college alumni can conveniently purchase textbooks, sweatshirts, caps and other collegiate merchandise from their favorite schools across the country. Students will also find the largest selection of used textbooks available at Neebo.com; buying a used textbook saves 25 percent off the price of buying the same book new. Renting books can save even more – as much as 55 percent – leaving students with more money to spend outside the classroom.

“College students spend an average of $700 a year on textbooks, and Neebo can cut those costs significantly,” said Steve Clemente, Senior Vice President of Neebo. “Because one of our main goals is to help students save, we are opting to put our marketing dollars toward giving students a break rather than buying ads. The site will regularly offer giveaways through our Neebos Freebos initiative – beginning with free textbook rentals this month.”

Starting today, students can go to Neebo.com’s textbook rental giveaway microsite, select the book they wish to rent, “like” the Neebo Facebook page (www.facebook.com/neebo ) and receive their one free rental. The student will pay only a small fee for shipping. In addition, once the free rental transaction is completed, the student will have the option of going to Neebo.com to order all of his or her textbooks at a 10 percent discount. The promotion will run through the end of the month or until the free rentals are gone.

With some textbooks costing upwards of $300 each, students who get a free rental could save some good change for their pockets.

What to Do With the Money Neebo Saves You This Semester
No doubt, college students can quickly put their savings to use. But to help inspire fun outside the classroom, Neebo offers the following 10 ideas for how students who sign up for the free book rental can spend the money they saved from a free textbook rental.

1. Pizza for 10 of your friends
2. A concert ticket
3. Laundry tokens for the entire semester
4. Half a season’s worth of student football tickets
5. A nice dinner date with the girl from Psych class
6. A tank of gas to go home and visit mom
7. iPod shuffle and a $15 iTunes gift card
8. A new backpack and/or sweatshirt from your local Neebo bookstore!
9. A one-way plane ticket for Spring Break
10. Just put it in the bank!

Tips to Help You Save Even More
Throughout the school year, Neebo will regularly send free merchandise and offers – called Neebos Freebos – to students in the company’s Facebook community. The company also will offer advice on other ways students can save money.

“Every college student appreciates free stuff, but we also want to be sure students don’t miss out on other ways to save cash,” Clemente said. “We’ve considered the complete college experience and put together 10 ideas that will help students get more college for their money.”

Neebo’s Ten Money Saving Tips for College Students

1. Rent your textbooks. Students can save up to 55% by renting their textbooks from Neebo.com and won’t have to waste time in a crowded bookstore. And don’t forget to reserve your free book!
2. Attend Happy Hours. Students can sometimes save up to 50 percent off the cost of food and drinks during set hours at restaurants or bars.
3. Flash your Student I.D. Many stores, restaurants and services such as health memberships offer students a discount when they show their student ID.
4. Enjoy activities on campus. Not only can students meet new people but many of these activities/meetings offer free food to those attending.
5. Ride your bike or take public transportation to class. Gas and parking can really add up!
6. Bring a snack or drink to class. Vending machines and on-campus convenience stores can charge more than shopping at the local grocery store.
7. Make it to the matinee showings. Many movie theaters and playhouses offer matinee tickets at a discounted rates – and special rates for students!
8. Skip the off-campus gym and try using the on-campus facilities. Sometimes non-school affiliated gyms can cost up to $75 a month.
9. Buy a coffee maker. Buying a cup of coffee can cost up to $4 a day and really drain your bank account.
10. Shop at consignment shops or buy articles off-season. Consignment shops can offer designer clothing at a fraction of the MSRP cost and winter coats are always on sale during the spring and summer!

NEW YORK, January 10, 2011 – The key date was 1/1/’11. Rockefeller Aldrich Kennedy-Popton, this generation’s boldest leader, believes that student journalists have enough clout to spearhead a viral demand for unity, and he believes the implications could be global. On 1/1/’11, he updated his website to disavow any doubt about his desire to see student journalists use the start of the new year to initiate a juggernaut. This news release was delayed to give students a chance to settle in after the long holiday break, so its date of issue is 1/10/’11. According to UWIRE staff, “when dealing with college newspapers, the earlier in the week you send the release, the better. Many college papers don’t publish on Friday and virtually none do anything on the weekend. Most clients opt to send releases on Monday to ensure that people will be in campus newsrooms to see the release when it is first issued and that they will have time to do something on the story in that week’s issues.”

Kennedy’s regard for student journalism is not hard to explain. As mass media gradually became a global affair, America’s significance shrank to match the true size of the U.S. population in comparison to the world’s total population. Naturally that meant that foreigners gained control of the vast majority of media powerhouses. The century-long streak of American world leadership in matters of politics and culture was consequently put into jeopardy of ending as a result of being stripped of its imposing podium. Now required to endure by relying solely on its merits, American leadership thirsts for an unbiased media source, and student journalism emerges as the only haven of pure objectivity.

The preeminent next-generation political leader, Rockefeller Aldrich-Kennedy Popton, has spelled out the significance of student journalism’s role and explicitly delineates the way forward for American world leadership in no uncertain terms at a website that has been relentlessly refined over the course of the last five years. A visit to the site shows how powerful a well honed message can be. It even includes original songs hosted at www.youtube.com and highly contextual images. Become informed about the vision at www.theperfectmomentneverends.com and learn more about student journalism with this citation from www.wikipedia.org:

“The National Pacemaker Awards are awards for excellence in American student journalism, given annually since 1927. The awards are generally considered to be the highest national honors in their field, and are unofficially known as the ‘Pulitzer Prizes of student journalism.’

“The National Scholastic Press Association administers the contest for high school programs, while the Associated Collegiate Press administers the college and university contests. Pacemakers are awarded annually at the JEA/NSPA National Conference (for high schools) and the ACP/CMA National College Media Convention (for colleges) in the following categories: Newspaper, Online, Yearbook/Magazine, and Broadcast.”
