After a very busy college season, it is my pleasure to announce that all members of this year’s senior class have been accepted to a college. Although a few decisions are still pending, we can say that everyone has a place to be next year. I’m grateful for all the help and cooperation of parents as well as faculty that brought us to this successful outcome.
Colleges and universities on our acceptance list so far this year include Northwestern University, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Boston University, University of Oregon, Wheaton College, University of Richmond, St. Lawrence University, Hobart & William Smith Colleges, Mt. Holyoke College, Ripon College, University of Hartford, Guilford College, Michigan State University, North Carolina State, Alfred University, Wagner College and Syracuse University.
From the list above, it’s clear that girls were thoughtful about the schools to which they applied. Their choices range from liberal arts colleges to big universities, from rural areas to cities, from small schools to large, from business majors to art majors. They spent time deliberating about what colleges were the best fit and therefore already have the best chance for success in their college years.
On a final note, I would like to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed working with so many juniors and seniors over the years as we navigated through the college process. It has been a pleasure getting to know them and their parents on a personal level while we contemplated the future. I will be moving into a new role as International Program Director next year and will be handing my college counseling duties over to Lauren Cunniffe who has already been working with this year’s junior class. While I’m excited about my new opportunity, I will definitely miss the excitement that each year brings to the college office. I would like to thank everyone who has been instrumental in bringing each year to a successful conclusion, I wish every future senior class all my best wishes.
Congratulations Class of 2009!
