i know this is old news by now… but coming back to it i just love how deeply @patagonia is thinking about its role in the environmental crisis. this quote from founder Yvon Chouinard really summed it up for me:

"Words have power... you are speaking life into yourself even when you don't know it." @theebillyporter is sharing such inspiration. @AngelBPerez is facilitating a wide ranging conversation. #nacac22 #accisatnacac

Lots to unpack. @theatlantic on teen sadness:
"The more overwhelming the world feels to parents, the more they ... bubble-wrap ... protective parenting ... deprives children of the emotional resilience needed to handle the world’s stresses."

As expected, testing requirements will continue to shift- keep up to date with the schools on your list! With many of our students considering GA schools, this is one to note: Georgia public colleges will require ACT or SAT for 2022 college applications https://t.co/mXw5ahBXNl

I think college fit is a real thing. If a student isn't in the right environment, it's an obstacle that can impede learning.

However, I also believe that there aren't college soulmates. There are lots of good options out there for students where they can equally thrive.

The great folks in the @Wellesley Admissions office are offering a webinar series on various parts of the #collegeapplication process. Some webinars are Wellesley specific, but many seem applicable for a broad audience of students in the #Classof2022

@DrErinAlmond I was so glad to catch your session and “see” you too! ❤️ Well done. Lots to think about to increase my equity in service and equity in outcomes!

Will colleges require students to get vaccinated before returning to campus next fall? https://t.co/8j5X3V9v8H

[Julie Carter @JCarterSays]

The pandemic-induced halt to in-person college visits has given us a chance to shift mindset and change the narrative. @Concord_Academy’s Kate Peltz gives great perspective in this month’s @ACCISWeb blog post:

An unwritten rule exists for our students of color that they need to submit to assimilation to be successful in school.

What if our schools saw the race and cultural heritage of our students as a resource we hold in high regard rather than an element to be assimilated?

[GA College Counseling @GAtoCollege]

A worthwhile read for students and parents. Well done Brennan (and thanks)! 👏

[Tara Miller @taraMaustin]

STUDENTS, flip the script.

No matter where, why, or when you decide to start your higher education.
👇🏼

“I’m choosing this college.”

Instead of

“OMG, this college accepted me!”

1/2- question from last night's panel: "What should 9th & 10th graders do now to prepare for college?"
3 Things:
1- Be a good hs student/community member. Engage, be a good friend/family member. Invest your time to improve something around you. Have fun/enjoy life/school...

Please remember, no matter the outcome, admission decisions are not a measure of a person's worth. They are just admissions decisions, no more no less. Please don't judge yourself by where you were admitted or not. You be you, and do great things wherever you end up enrolling.
