单选题     Linkedln, the social network for the workplace, has added a new feature to help college students uncover their best education path to a future career.
    The new tool, called 'University Pages', allows higher education facilities to help guide students down a career path. Christina Allen, Director of Product Management at Linkedln, wrote in a blog post announcing the new feature that University Pages is a cornerstone strategy to help students at 'every critical milestone from campus to fulfilling, successful careers. '
    According to Linkedln, 200 universities have already adopted their pages, including New York University, University of California San Diego, University of Michigan, Villanova, Rochester Institute of Technology, and University of Illinois. The professional social network said that thousands of more schools will be given access to their University Pages over the next few weeks.
    Pages will be operated by staff members at the universities, which will utilize the social network to serve current and past students, as well as recruit prospective students. Universities can utilize an interactive chart to show statistics from its alumni (校友) students to see where they have gone on to work and in what positions, where they live, and what they studied in school.
    'We believe University Pages will be especially valuable for students making their first, big decision about where to attend college, ' Allen said.
    She said that LinkedIn will begin to make the social networking site available to high school students beginning on September 12. These students will be able to use the new feature to look at prospective universities, as well as 'greatly expand their understanding of the careers available, and get a head start on building a network of family and friends to help guide them at every milestone, ' Allen added.
    'For the past few years, I'd watched my daughter and her friends struggle with these choices (selecting colleges), ' she wrote in her blog. 'Through my relationships at LinkedIn, I knew that hidden in millions of member profiles were powerful insights about the career outcomes of educations from universities around the world. If harnessed, these insights could provide incredible value for students—helping them explore possible futures and build a support network to help them succeed on campus and beyond. '
