Hey! Welcome to WikiProject Universities!

Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Universities! Our goals are to standardize the structure and content of all college and university articles, improve Wikipedia's coverage of these articles (hopefully propelling them to featured article status), and serve as the central resource for all discussions and information related to colleges and universities on Wikipedia.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The university infobox is one way we hope to standardize our coverage of university articles. All university pages should have this infobox, and relevant fields should be filled in and sourced.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has a few expanding departments, which handle article quality assessment, member recruitment and project awareness and article improvement collaborations.
• We have a Student Affairs task force that focuses on Student affairs-specific articles.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.
• Check out our to do list to get started!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask one of the project participants or post a question on the talk page. We'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! —- Jameson L. Tai ^{talk ♦ contribs} 22:04, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
