Message from Executive Director of College Counseling: A winter of activity, a spring of gratitude
Read MoreA year ago this week, I visited Ransom Everglades School as the newly appointed Executive Director of College Counseling. Although my official start date was a month away, I was invited to South Florida to spend time with my new colleagues before the summer break. The observations and impressions I gathered during this first visit formed the basis for the strategy statement that I unveiled to the RE Board of Trustees in September:
REimagine the college counseling process to engage and inform families as we elevate RE students in an increasingly competitive national admissions environment. -
From the Executive Director of College Counseling: Slaying the Dragon
Read MoreI will always remember the chant, “Dragon, Dragon, Dragon; Oi, Oi, Oi!” In late March, the entire Cornell University community came together to celebrate a Cornell rite of spring – the storied Dragon Day tradition. As tradition goes, first-year architecture students construct a dragon and march it across campus to meet a phoenix built by first-year engineers. The culmination was a bonfire on the Arts Quad where the dragon was metaphorically slain. The celebratory atmosphere reflected both the excitement of a campus event drawing thousands of participants as well as a collective sense of relief that spring was just around the corner after a long, Ithaca winter. -
From the Executive Director of College Counseling: Many eyes, many voices – the REimagining
Read MoreTwenty years ago this spring, I was engaged in a “reimagining” initiative at Cornell University that is similar to what we are currently doing at Ransom Everglades. Dubbed the rebuilding initiative, this revitalization of our undergraduate admission office was driven by goals that called for greater efficiency in our work, targeted recruitment strategies, segmented communication plans, and enhanced use of technology. I remember the excitement, the hard work, and the awesome sense of responsibility I felt recreating the office at a storied institution.
