Happy 10th Birthday SmarterServices!
Where did the past 10 years go?  It is hard to believe that we have been in business for a decade.  It has been an honor to work with so many educators and students.  As a company, we believe strongly in the concept of being a lifelong learner.  Our employees are challenged weekly to learn something new.  With a passion for education, each member of our team genuinely cares about our partners, clients, and the students across the country that we have helped.  The past decade has been filled with change, exciting growth, challenges and success!  This month marks the 10th anniversary of the birth of our first product - READI - Readiness for Education at a Distance Indicator!  Now known as SmarterMeasure, it is a tool that has grown leaps and bounds since its conception.  Beginning with a passion for distance learning, conviction, and a dream, Dr. Mac Adkins set out to make a difference in the lives of students.  Armed with an idea and challenged to make a difference, Dr. Adkins charged himself with organizing a team of educators and making his dream a reality.  The rest, as they say, is history!  Ten years and over 1,250,000 students later, we are making a difference in the world of online learners!   To hear what Dr. Adkins has to say about the secret to our business success, read a recent blog post.  As part of the festivities, we'd love to hear from you in regards to our milestone.  Share your thoughts on our birthday wallwisher.  Just click and add your own virtual sticky note!  Thank you for being a huge part of our success!

Valued Client and The Wall Street Journal
What do SmarterServices and OC Global have to do with The Wall Street Journal?  One of our valued clients, Corey Davis from Odessa College (OC Global), recently had a story about his online program picked up from the Market Watch section of The Wall Street Journal.  I encourage all of our clients to read it. Their story proves that hard work, dedication, research, and some strong products can create a strong online program that makes education available no matter what the demographic or challenge. Congratulations to Corey and his team at OC Global for being leaders in the industry!  In addition, we would like to wish OC Global good luck in their quest for the Campus Technology Innovators 2012 Award.  We wish you nothing but the best!
