Greetings from the university counselors! We look forward to working with students and families during the 2021-2022 school year as the students plan for their post secondary opportunities.
First, we would like to welcome Curt Nichols to our department. Curt joins us after spending 6 years in the US working as a university counselor at Oaks Christian School in California. Prior to that, he worked at International School Manila, Lahore American School, and the Thai Chinese International School here in Thailand. Curt has also worked with the University of California Berkeley’s Admission Office and the Elite Education Institute in California. Curt brings a wealth of knowledge as a true professional in the field. We are excited to have him join our team!
The university counselors will kick off the Senior Seminars with the grade 12 students next week and look forward to setting up Senior Family Conferences starting 25 August. Mark your calendars, Senior Family University evening will be on 1 September at 6:30 pm. Junior (Grade 11) Family University evening will be on 14 September and Junior Seminars will start the week of 20 September. All the university counselors are excited to start our work with the students and families.
If any students or parents have questions for their university counselor, please reach out by email. Students can find out which counselor has been assigned to your family by checking on Powerschool.
Colleges and universities are offering many online opportunities to find out more about their institutions and campuses. Please check out the Virtual University Visits that will list the events that universities have alerted us about. Remember to go directly to the admissions page of the colleges and universities that you are particularly interested in to find out more about opportunities to connect with their representatives, take virtual tours or attend information sessions.
We all hope that students and families have a smooth start to the new school year. We look forward to our time together and wish each of you the best.
Let me know if you need anything else,
Deb
