Things To Do
  1. Work on articles that need cleanup.
  2. Create a page for every university and college and add {{infobox University}} for it. See the missing list for those institutions still awaiting articles.
  3. Place {{WikiProject Higher education}} on every related talk page.
  4. Combat boosterism wherever it appears
  5. Ensure all articles, including Featured articles, are consistent with the article guidelines.


The outreach department of WikiProject Universities is a centralized work area for project recruitment and member interaction efforts. The new programs currently underway are a monthly project newsletter and a welcoming message for new members of the project; further ideas are always welcome, of course!

Newsletter

[edit]

This newsletter was created in October 2007 and is based on the WikiProject Military History newsletter. Each issue will be published at the beginning of every month summarizing the happenings in the past month. For example, the September issue will be published at the beginning of October and will contain a summary of September's activity in the WikiProject. Feel free to help with the process!
