Pop Star Jennifer Paige Produces and Sings New Alma Mater Anthem for American Sentinel University

Paige takes a break from finishing her new album to put together the theme song for an innovative online university.

Englewood, CO (PRWEB) September 20, 2006 -- American Sentinel University, an accredited online university, recently launched an alma mater anthem co-written and sung by internationally known pop singer Jennifer Paige. While most institutions rely on their in-house choirs to produce and sing their alma maters, American Sentinel, a leader in innovation, once again breaks the mold by having singer-songwriter Jennifer Paige involved in producing their alma mater.

"As an established and innovative artist that appeals to our student demographic, Jennifer was the right choice to write and record our alma mater," says Richard W. Oliver, CEO of American Sentinel.

Jennifer's single "Crush," from her debut album, was a #1 single in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Denmark, and several other countries. Her success continued to spread and she was nominated as Best New Artist at the World Music Awards. Her music often appears in TV shows and movies. She took time out of mixing tracks from her new album, including tracks laid down in Ibiza, Spain with renowned producer Torsten Stenzel.

"It was such a pleasure for me to put the skills I learned long ago in music theory classes to good use," says Paige. "It isn't often in the mainstream pop radio world that you get the opportunity to arrange and record a choir of vocalists. I had a great time and am happy to be a part of something which inspires a person to increase their education and grow."

The alma mater anthem debuted at American Sentinel's recent commencement ceremony, held on the campus of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. "Jennifer recorded three different versions," Oliver adds. "We are posting all three to our website asking our students to choose the one that will become the official version for the future. We will also make it available as a ringtone."

American Sentinel University is accredited by the U.S. Secretary of Education-recognized Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council. DETC, the premier global accrediting association for distance learning institutions, is also recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

Founded as a Vanderbilt University Technology Company, American Sentinel University is an accredited institution that delivers to its students and their employers the competitive advantages of unique online education programs focused on the needs of high-growth sectors.
