Occidental College Gets a Boost From the Obama Connection

Getting elected president is a Big Deal. And making history by becoming the first African American elected president is an even bigger deal. Any school that had a hand in that achievement alone has reason to be proud. And it’s a much better reason for more kids to apply and more applicants to choose it than say having Doug Flutie throw a big touchdown pass on TV, which is what boosted Boston College’s popularity, or having your baskeball team make the final four, which is what boosted George Mason’s popularity back in 2006

<p>Amen. Don’t tell Hawkette, though :-)</p>
