Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose - Wikipedia is not to be used for advertising or promotion of any kind. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 21:13, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Before setting up an individual account, please read this:
 * One reason for deletion of your article is that it was substantially copied from www.touro.edu/general/president/TOURO_2012_PR_spreads.pdf. We cannot accept copied material unless a formal copyright release has been made. Assertion of permission to use material is not enough. The way to make a release is described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials
 * But it is unlikely to be worth doing that, because material written for other purposes almost always has a promotional tone unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not for promotion of any kind, and is very resistant to being used in that way.
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and should not be approached as a noticeboard onto which organizations can pin their announcements. An encyclopedia article has a different audience, a different aim, and a different style. See User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard.
 * If you set up an individual account but still wish to write about the college you will have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a Conflict of interest, and should read that guideline and Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. What you should do is:
 * Read WP:Your first article
 * Make a userspace draft by going, from your new account, to Help:Userspace draft
 * Take great care not to write promotionally. Do not write in the first person: you are not writing for the organization, you are writing for Wikipedia about it. No opinions, no glowing adjectives, just plain facts, neutrally stated, and sourced to reliable sources.
 * Wikipedia's WP:Verifiability policy requires that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source." In order to establish WP:Notability, you will need to cite references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
 * When you have finished, click the "submit" button at the top of the draft page, which will submit it to WP:Articles for creation, where either it will be accepted or you will be given feedback.
