Dear Colleagues,
After an arduous year of online learning and virtual events, I’m sure we are all looking for simplicity and efficiency! 😉
That said, as you know, current conditions leave uncertainties as to the feasibility of in-person school events, quarantine, logistics etc.
As such, we are hosting US College Connect to focus on PEER-TO-PEER ongoing networking and authentic engagement (students/parents). This will allow ongoing personal engagement with families who are exploring US College options.
