Greetings from Denver!

Back from an amazing week in Denver, Colorado attending the2012 NACAC National Convention. NACAC stands for the National Association of College Admission Counselors. Admissions counselors from all over the world attended to promote their schools and share ideas regarding higher education. High school counselors, like myself, were treated to sessions ranging from NCAA and the student athlete to tips on writing the best letters of recommendation. It was a three day marathon of all things college.
One of the highlights of the trip out west for me was a visit to Regis University, a Jesuit university just outside of downtown Denver.  http://www.regis.edu/   I, along with my fellow Prep counselors Joe Giglio and Yetunde Rubenstein, joined counselors from every other Jesuit high school and college, including Georgetown, Fordham and Loyola Maryland to network and share ideas surrounding our students. Regis U is an amazing campus – I had the best time on their tour and am slightly jealous of the students currently attending. I can’t wait to plan my next trip back to Colorado, and look forward to seeing all of my higher ed. friends again really soon.
