Leaders in Education Trust Blue Jeans “As a university with hundreds of staff and students, we needed a converged conferencing tool that is quick and easy to set up with a sophisticated set of capabilities that can make an impact to our school inside and outside of the classroom. Blue Jeans Network allows professors to lecture remotely due to harsh weather conditions and more interestingly, we are able to give our students access to guest lecturers from around the world. ” — Eli Jacobson, Brandeis University EDU Customers Include: • 7 of the top 10 and 20 of the top 50 US colleges per US News & World Report • 50% of the Ivy League • Over 40% of top-25 MBA schools • Over 140 universities, community colleges, and school districts • Institutions in over 10 countries and 34 states Top Uses of Blue Jeans in Education 1.
