MeritPages.com creates personalized stories about these accomplishments, publishes them online at MeritPages.com, and sends them to your hometown newspapers. This makes sure you get credit for the good work you’re doing on campus and in the community, which helps with summer jobs, internships, and even job interviews and references after graduation.

It’s sort of like getting badges from Foursquare/SCVNGR/GetGlue except that these badges are for real accomplishments instead of just walking around or watching a TV show.

Your achievements are already on MeritPages.com, and Lebanon Valley College will email you a notification with a link to your online achievement each time you earn a new one. Search for your name by clicking here!
