College Students: Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk and Allison Mack Want Your Brain
Posted by Jon Lachonis on 12/15 at 04:24 PM

michael emersonCollege students: Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang) and Allison Mack (Chloe) want you. Or, more appropriately, they want what’s inside your head. The duo have teamed with Battlestar Galactica’s Nicki Clyne (Cally) and Kreuk’s occasional Edgmont costar Sarah Edmondson to create a web portal geared towards the collegiate of the now generation. The project is in it’s infancy now, and the girls are looking for some input on what today’s progressively educating youth want to see. In every sense, the Entrepreneurial young ladies want to partner with their target audience in creating the coolest digs possible, for you.

“We’re creating a college site, and right now we just want to get as much data as possible because what we want to create will be specific to what college student want,” Kristin told me last Wednesday. “We want to find out what they’re interested in, what they’re spending their money on, what they want to see in the world, what they like to go out and watch or play, or do, so that we can create something really cool for them.”

“Having never been a college student myself,” Allison added “I want to get a better idea of what college students are about, and to get in their heads. And the survey is geared towards doing just that so we can provide the coolest site possible for the college students.”

If you’re suspicious that the effort is really geared towards the CW wanting to get inside your head, don’t be. The project is completely independent. “We really started to recognize the value in college students, the next generation of people really rests on their shoulders. It’s an amazing time for a lot of different people, and I think it is important to encourage students to think critically and wrap their minds around things and to really take charge of their lives and help actualize the things they want to see in the world.” Kristin said.

You can help the girls kick things off by helping to provide the information. To take the survey, visit this LINK.


Best of all is her picture in the banner of this site:



Niiiice :thumbsup:

I can answer the question what college kids are interested in.
P A R T Y!!!!!! :dancingbunny:

Seriously I wish them luck! Being an old fart I could not participate in this new venture of Nicki's. So I appreciate Lex giving us a glimpse into one of the most awesome promotional banners of Nicki they are putting out! :clap:

I'm not interested in partying... I'm in college to get a degreen in ACS and hopefully be able to get a job doing what I love.

Well thats a good thing considering the price of an education. ;)

I never went to college, I just have the diploma from German secondary school qualifying for university admission or matriculation, that you get after 13 years of school and a helluva final exam.

But I went to some great partys :thumbsup:

But then again, I'm just an underpaid surveyor <_< :rofl2:

College what's that!?

LOL.

Went to one semester, am going back this year.

But I don't think they realize how idealistic, and unappreciative college kids are.
The average one I met, (and not stereotyping collegiates at all) were pretentious, demeaning, and oblivious to common conversation ethics, and discourse; especially to anyone who wasn't in school, and is of college age.

I don't think college students that I've met have either the pulse on the nation, nor the actualized vision that would constitute a change of anything.

(simple speak: college kids are getting paid to learn, they don't have the real-world experiance to solidify any legit form of reconstitution/revolution.)

So all the girls want is a virtual College Community center. Those are lame, becuase not everyone likes what everyone else does, nor does everyone respect what everyone else likes, which is why you still have clicks, niches, groups, fraternities, sororities, and the ilk on the average campuses.

They obviously haven't been to college if they think this kind of leisure integration is even feasible.

Good Luck to them though.


[Addendum:
(from the survey site:
Hi there... if you're reading this, it must mean you are an incredibly intelligent, witty, clever and good lucking member of the college community. If all but the college part applies to you, congratulations! but you best be moving along for now. But for all you college folks, thanks for comin' over and sharing your valuable time with us. The survey will take about 15 minutes depending on how long you linger, and as a thank you for sharing with us, you have the opportunity to ask one of us (Allison Mack, Kristin Kreuk, Nicki Clyne or Sarah Edmondson) any question in the universe! If it's out there enough, we just might answer it...)]

So, they're erroneously misspelling. I'll let that go, but did they mean to say, "good-looking"?
IMO: that's really shallow.
Especially since they want our brains.

@ Omegatron: Idealistic sure, but a forrest is grown from the seeds one plants. While your view of college life sounds pretty accurate in a general sense, it doesn't mean there are not those that could not be inspired to participate into something a little more meaningful on a personal level.

While I have no idea what exactly they have planned, one this is true, "humanity" is hardly something thought about in the education process and its one that is so important for the world community to grasp a hold of.

Regarding the remark, "Good Looking", nothing wrong with "buttering up" your demographic base you wish to connect with. :P

:muffin: Ur right on the buttering up. MMMMmmmmm.

:rofl2: :thumbsup:

the survey is still on :) I wonder when they plan to launch the actual website.

Im going to do this as soon as i can think of a question to ask Nicki.... well WHICH question im going to ask, haha.


EDIT:

Done and Done, now lets see if i get a reply =X
