MyEdu provides a free platform to students to help them succeed in college; this includes schedule planning tools, rich course information on millions of college courses, and a highly visual professional profile that students can use to demonstrate their skills and experience to peers and employers.  MyEdu uses student profile information to introduce students to thousands of internship listings and over a million job opportunities in a targeted way.  Currently, more than 1 million students utilize the platform across thousands of campuses nationwide.  MyEdu's employer customers use the site to build their brands and connect with targeted segments of college students, improving their ability to reach the students who are the best fit for their companies.

b. Name of the student's school
c. Name of degree type (Bachelors, Associates, Masters, Certificate)

WHAT IS THE MYEDU STUDENT PROFILE?
A MyEdu Student Profile is typically the first professional online profile for college students. Students are able to tell their college story all in one place; showing classmates and employers what they accomplished during classes, projects, volunteering, internships and other pertinent work experiences.  The more information a student includes in a MyEdu Profile, the better positioned the student is to demonstrate their capabilities and connect with the right potential employers.  See profiles of the weekly winners on our blog at http://blog.myedu.com/meet-the-myedu-fall-sweepstakes-winner/
