Welcome!
Hello, WestonVictoria, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

The draft article you created has been deleted, for two reasons.
 * 1) It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account.
 * 2) The article was unambiguously promotional in character, reading more like marketing material for the college than like an objective account by a person with no view to express. You may or may not have intended the draft to be promotional, but even if you didn't it is often very difficult, or even impossible, for someone personally involved in a topic they are writing about, such as an employee, to stand back and see how their writing will look from the detached perspective of an outsider. Consequently editors in that position often write material which looks to others like unambiguous advertising, even if they sincerely believe that they are writing neutrally. That is, in fact, one of the main reasons why Wikipedia's so-called "conflict of interest" guideline strongly discourages such writing by involved editors. The problem is particularly severe in the case of editors who are professionals in marketing, PR, etc, because they spend so much time reading and writing promotional material hour after hour that they become desensitised to it, so that what lookslike blatant puffery to others looks perfectlyneutral to them. Over the years I  have repeatedly encountered editors in that situation who are clearly sincerely trying to edit in line with Wikipedia's requirement for a neutral point of view, but who honestly cannot see anything promotional in their writing, even though everybody else sees it that way. It seems  natural, but is in fact often seriously mistaken, for a business or other organisation to get simeone from their marketing or PR team to create a Wikipedia article for them.
