1. How Scholars Can Use Faculty Row to Connect
You ever think of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter? Can they be used for more other than
celebrity gossip and other everyday issues? Well, Faculty Row is a site that has earned more than just a
social network where scholars can meet and interact on a professional capacity. It is actually a site that
helps tutors and students meet for a common goal. When you think of a social network, what comes into
mind is sharing ideas and knowledge in general. On Faculty Row, professors can post their research
work, videos and broadcasts for people who matter, to see. This is a platform that introduces a whole new
learning methodology where students can get more than they bargained for.
This is all thanks to Jeffrey Finder, the architect behind Faculty Row site and also the C.E.O. Mr. Finder
is what you may call a man who not only visualizes himself but also the professors out there who are
breaking their backs in universities while they struggle financially. As we all know, working as a professor
in a university means that you have to live an average life. Well, with Faculty Row, professors can find a
side gig which will gladly convert their knowledge into real money.
How is Faculty Row like a social network
It is never easy to find people who you share similar thoughts, especially if you are professor. When you
visit a site like Facebook, you will find people of all nature and backgrounds and let face it, it is like
looking for a needle in a haystack. Faculty Row is like a social network but for nerds, like scholars people
with more knowledge to share in all aspects. If it is micro-biology or statistics, you will get your match on
the site. It is like a social gathering, in a professional capacity, of the elite in academics. In short, you get
the best of quality in terms of what you are looking for. Professors share information regarding their
knowledge while learners can engage and benefit from such rich knowledge.
Can Faculty Row be trusted?
With more than 5 years since it was developed and launched by Mr. Finder, the site still boasts of having
professors from New York University and the University of Columbia. Apart from that it has recorded
profits year after year with $500,000 worth of revenue in 2013. This is a great accomplishment as it has
shown exponential growth in terms of members and revenue on yearly basis. Also, the recruitment for
tutors has intensified with more professors from universities coming on board. This could only mean one
thing, quality education provided by qualified tutors in all fields of study.
