And you know we loved seeing two Huskies of our own! #blazingatrail #blazersintheworld #montessori

Grateful for the opportunity to visit @Northeastern - incredible campuses in three global cities, Co-op programs that emphasize experiential learning, and innovative research in all disciplines. #likeahusky

Found the one @Popeyes in the city of Boston in the @Northeastern student union! #beahusky

Loved visiting @ictrueblue and participating in @IACAC first ever pre-conference session for new(er) counselors. Fantastic hospitality on a beautiful campus and thoughtful, intentional programming.

MAP funding and state appropriations to our public universities are 2 essential tools for realizing greater college access and affordability - ILGA, it’s crucial that Illinois invest in both.

Shocking development @SIUE

[Beacon Academy CCO @BeaconCCO]

Grateful for the opportunity to learn more about @SIUE - a comprehensive midsize university with excellent facilities, research opps, and a commitment to inclusion. #GoCougars

LOL @CollegeBoard - maybe not the most trustworthy source when it comes to elevating Black voices in education right now #emchat #scchat

Hey @nfl and @fox, it’s school counselor not guidance counselor and maybe don’t paint us as dream killers 🤷🏻‍♀️

Huge thanks to @MarquetteU for hosting a counselor visit in November. Loved the intentional focus on retention and graduation while taking advantage of an urban environment.

Trip bonuses! Seeing Ethan ‘20, a surprise @Wawa stop on the way to the airport, a sweet hardwood court, and the chance to wear a hard hat! #blazersonfire

[Beacon Academy CCO @BeaconCCO]

Fantastic visit to @Muhlenberg - a fantastic liberal arts college in eastern PA that boasts deep, authentic engagement, warm, welcoming community, and extraordinary commitment to access, inclusion and belonging. Big thanks to @TBNelan and the admissions staff! #GoMules

We felt this terror a lot. Materials submission deadline FTW!

@aaronf5413 @BarnardBrennan @AllisonState @michaeltrivette “REDACTED’s application has been open since August 1st. Please encourage seniors to apply early. We received a record number of applications for fall 2021, and this year could see another increase, so the longer they wait, the more competitive it will be for admission.” (10/6/22)

[Beacon Academy CCO @BeaconCCO]

@aaronf5413 @BarnardBrennan @AllisonState @michaeltrivette Stop the APPLY NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE message that starts in early September.

[Beacon Academy CCO @BeaconCCO]

Appreciate this update, and it was also a good reminder to our seniors that the internet is not infallible #planahead

Early today, some Common App users experienced issues with the application, due to a third-party outage. The issue is now resolved, and users should now be able to navigate the application. Thank you so much for your understanding.
