The problem with going to conferences in sunny locations in November – particularly when one lives in the Midwest, where November is often met with the first snow flurries of the year (!) – is that, while the weather outside is typically gorgeous, the schedule of the conference itself is very often not conducive to getting outside to actually enjoy the sunshine.

This is (one of the reasons) why I love the pre-conference campus tours that always coincide with the fall conference of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) – after landing in balmy Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon, I awakened Wednesday morning, hopped on a bus, and was whisked over to the campus of nearby Whittier College for a chance to learn about what makes it a special place and enjoy some California sunshine! Read More

Thanksgiving

Completing college applications can be hard work, work that often runs through the holiday season. Since everyone else is taking some time off, this would seem to be the perfect opportunity to hang out with your family, especially since this could be your last Thanksgiving/New Year/Kwanzmasakah as a full-time occupant of your parents’ home. How could this possibly be a bad idea?
