The Daily Jolt (2000–2010) was a large and robust network of online campus-specific community and news sites.It was founded by Amit Gupta at Amherst College and a site for Brown University started shortly thereafter, both which remained the most active school portals in the system during the decade it remained in business. At its peak, there were sites for more than 100 college campuses in the United States and Canada. The Daily Jolt was run by student volunteers at each school, known as "Jolters", and supported by a small staff located in Boston, Massachusetts.
