The University Counseling team sends their heartfelt welcome to all new students and families and a big welcome back to those returning to ISB.
The summer was full of rest and relaxation for the university counselors. In addition, we attended (in person and virtually) the 2022 International Association of College Admissions Counselors Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico during the week of 11-15 July. It was awesome to be back in person among colleagues from around the world. Lots of stimulating discussions, thoughtful presentations and collegial connections were experienced by all the participants. We look forward to connecting with your families and being able to share our insights and experiences once the school year starts.
