Even Beyond Graduation felt the Tebow effect

While his season may be over, Tim Tebow certainly arrived this year. And his arrival was very good for Denver and for the Broncos.

Welcome Studica!

Behind the scenes, we’ve been very busy at Beyond Graduation. Thanks to you, December was our best month ever, and the start of 2012 sees several new partners working with us.

An issue of pride

Guess what sports and scandal fans? Both applications to and the alumni group at Penn State are bigger this year than they were last year. Really?? Really! I can see both sides and really dislike that. If I could just fully embrace one side of this issue, I’d be a better – or at least [...]

And now for something completely different ….

Have we met? I work for Beyond Graduation where I am known as ‘the token chick’. Sports – sports – sports – and …. me!
