About me:

My name is Sam Jackson, and I am a current student at Yale University, Trumbull College class of 2011. I am a prospective Ethics, Politics, Economics major with a special personal interdisciplinary interest in combining technology, science, and politics. I am passionate about technology and politics and feel that each one can improve the other. I believe there needs to be more sound technology and science advocacy in public policy circles so that our political system can nourish and support the innovation which will propel humanity into a better tomorrow. I hope to help make that a reality.

Since 2005, when I began chronicling my own college admissions process (Phillips Exeter Academy '07) I have been publishing my thoughts about college admissions and higher education marketing on my blog, The Sam Jackson College Experience. I also cover my college experience as an undergraduate at Yale University and college life in general. My efforts to call for reform and change in college admissions and higher education marketing practices have attracted the attention of many in the higher education community, and my blog is read from prospective students to college presidents. My expertise brought me to present at the College Board Forum 2007 in New York. This continuing process of adovacy for increased authenticity and transparency is one arm of my efforts to leverage the power of the internet and technology to improve the world around me.
