I recently came across this GREAT article by Lauren Felter of LSU and thought it was important to share the information with our readers. In the article, written last May, she explains a number of ways that college differs from high school.
Last week my colleague Diane and I spent an afternoon visiting Occidental College, a small liberal arts college in Pasadena, CA that offers a diverse and wide variety of learning opportunities. It has been a while since I was last there, and I wanted to reacquaint myself with the campus, the facilities and all that the school has to offer.
We though it might be relevant to suggest a system for collecting and tracking information, contacts, awards, college visit pictures and notes that would make it easy to find the high school contacts, activities, awards and adventures necessary to complete college applications.
