LinkedIn's just-launched University Pages gives institutions dedicated pages where prospective and current college students and staff can interact with alumni and others. University Pages will both extend and focus many of the features that are so compelling about LinkedIn, enabling users to get news updates, research different schools, link with notable alumni and generally build their network. UC Riverside was a University Pages beta tester.
