New App for College Students Launches at Texas UniversitiesAustin-based technology company, EmBazaar, Inc., introduces Skoop (Austin, Texas)Nov.3, 2014– EmBazaar, Inc., an Austin-based technology company, today introduced its inaugural app, Skoop, to Texas universities. Skoop is the only social network for college students that combinescampus-specific news and events and a student-only marketplace into a centralized platform that is specific to a given university. It is available for free in the iTunes App Store and Google Play for Android. “We created Skoop to simplify college students’ social media experience,” said Neil Patwardhan, founder and chief executive officer of EmBazaar. “Now, there’s a single social network just for students that houses all the information they need and want to know about in one place.The app is filled with news, events and a marketplace, all relevant to a student’s specific university.” EmBazaar launched Skoop in a controlled beta state in mid July and in an extended beta state on Oct. 3. Following Oct. 3, EmBazaar partnered with its campus influencers, roles reserved for students who help spread the word about the app on their campuses, to host launch events at numerous Texas universities, including Texas State University, The University of Texas at Austin, St. Edward’s University, the University of Incarnate Word and Southwestern University. Other campuses using the app across the United States include University of South Carolina, Columbia; Winthrop University; and Tennessee State University. The app’s three key features include heartbeat, a social feed with student-only social posts and news; events, where students can view, create and RSVP to event postings of things happening on or off campus; and a streamlined marketplace for buying, selling and trading student essentials. While Skoop is available at college campuses all over the nation, its features and content remain specific to the students of a given university. This level of relevancy and exclusivity is supported by the app’s two-layer authentication process. In the first layer, students must register for the app with their “.edu” email address. In the second layer, students confirm registration by accessing a unique link sent to that email’s inbox. In addition, when students register for a Skoop account, they are not required to “friend” or follow individual users; rather, they are given access to content from all Skoop users at that university. One group that is benefitting from access to an expansive, university-specific audience is student organizations. “Skoop is useful to Students for Wema because it allows us to reach a broader base, attract more students to join our organization and spread the word on our cause,” said Madison Gove, UT student and president of Students for Wema, a service organization committed to raising funds for The Wema Children’s Centre in Africa. “I guarantee within five years, Skoop will be the next Facebook on college campuses.” Skoop has partnered with a number of student organizations like Students for Wema to help them raise awareness and funds for their various philanthropic causes.

For more than 130 years, The University of Texas System has been committed to improving the lives of Texans and people all over the world through education, research and health care. The University of Texas System is one of the nation’s largest systems of higher education, with 14 institutions that educate nearly 240,000 students. Each year, UT institutions award more than one-third of all undergraduate degrees in Texas and more than half of all health professional degrees. With about 21,000 faculty – including Nobel laureates – and more than 85,000 health care professionals, researchers and support staff, the UT System is one of the largest employers in the state. Life-changing research and invention of new technologies at UT institutions regularly places the UT System among the top 10 “World’s Most Innovative Universities,” according to Reuters. The UT System ranks third in the world in patents granted, and because of the high caliber of scientific research conducted at UT institutions, the UT System is ranked No. 1 in Texas and No. 2 in the nation in federal research expenditures. In addition, the UT System is home to three of the nation’s National Cancer Institute Cancer Centers – UT MD Anderson, UT Southwestern and UT Health Science Center-San Antonio – which must meet rigorous criteria for world-class programs in cancer research. And the UT System is the only System in the country to have four Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) from the National Institutes of Health. Transformational initiatives implemented over the past several years have cemented UT as a national leader in higher education, including the expansion of educational opportunities in South Texas with the opening of The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in 2015. And UT was the only system of higher education in the nation that established not one, but two new medical schools in 2016 at The University of Texas at Austin and UT Rio Grande Valley. University of Texas institutions are setting the standard for excellence in higher education and will continue to do so thanks to generous donors and the leadership of the Chancellor, Board of Regents and UT presidents.
