BISHOP’S UNIVERSITY AND ZEEMEE ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP TO HELP UNIVERSITY APPLICANTS GET NOTICED

Bishop’s University Becomes First Canadian Post-secondary Partner of the Free Platform Which Changes the Way Students Connect with Life-Changing Opportunities by Bringing Their Stories to Life.

Sherbrooke, November 17, 2015 –

Bishop’s University, one of Canada’s premier undergraduate universities, announced today that it will partner with ZeeMee, a Silicon Valley-based company that provides a free online platform that allows students to create media-rich profiles to showcase themselves in a professional manner as part of the admissions process.

Bishop’s University is known for its mission of providing Canada’s best undergraduate education and experience.  With a student population of nearly 2,400 coming from over 60 countries, Bishop’s is always looking for the most talented and community focused students that fit within its liberal education model.  “We have adopted a holistic approach to admitting students that goes beyond their grades. It’s extremely important to our campus community,” describes Dan Seneker, Director of Enrolment at Bishop’s University.   “Partnering with ZeeMee allows us to understand our applicants using a medium that is familiar to them. The platform gives us a 3600 view of the students, and this helps us determine whether or not Bishop’s would be an ideal fit for them and vice versa.”

“We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Bishop’s University and have Bishop’s as our first Canadian university partner,” announced Juan Jaysingh, ZeeMee’s Founder and CEO. He added: “It is an enormous honour to work alongside such a prominent university with the tradition and commitment to excellence such as Bishop’s. It is clear that Bishop’s University is deeply committed to enhancing equity and access and reviewing each student’s unique story. We very much look forward to working with Bishop’s University, its students, and its many talented leaders.”

ZeeMee’s mission is simple: changing the way students connect with life-changing opportunities by bringing their stories to life. ZeeMee is a free service that seeks to bolster equity and access for all students by enabling them to showcase themselves in the admissions process, to apply for and obtain scholarships, and to access employment opportunities by creating a unique profile page that brings each student’s story to life.

ZeeMee partners with colleges and universities that deeply value each student’s unique story and desire to bolster equity and access for all. While helping students showcase their passions in a modern and three-dimensional manner, ZeeMee has designed a platform that is focused on connecting colleges with Generation Z in a new and innovative way that allows colleges to actively engage and truly know their applicants.

The startup has put together a strong team of designers, developers, educators and business leaders dedicated to creating the best educational opportunities for students around the globe.

Bishop’s will start utilizing ZeeMee for its Fall 2016 admission cycle and students can apply to Bishop’s directly online.
