College Town Profile

The College Town Profile® Convergence Publishing Program® brings colleges and universities the most advanced wireless publishing benefits with flexible participation options.

We offer both a purchase option as well as a no-cost option.

No-Cost Option

With the no-cost option, College Town Profile® solicits advertising support from local sponsors. We manage sales and production; you receive a percentage of the total sales and control the message and content -- and get the most advanced publishing program available in the marketplace.

The no-cost option gives you several thousand copies of your high-quality printed piece; an online version directly linked to your school site; the downloadable NewView eBook®; as well as a version that can be downloaded to PDAs, cellphones and other wireless devices, with full accessibility 24/7. The purchase option gives you a faster production timeline and more space to communicate your message.
