College Admission is featured in "A Summer Reading List from College Admission Counselors" in Valerie Strauss' Washington Post Answer Sheet blog. Thank you to Kenyon College Dean Jennifer Delahunty for recommending our book! This is a great list overall, assembled by Brennan Barnard, director of college counseling of The Derryfield School in Manchester, New Hampshire with suggestions for parents and students, as well as some all-around fun summer reading such as Claude Steele's “Whistling Vivaldi," recommended by: Susan Weingartner, Director of College Counseling at Chicago's Francis W.

Tales of Haunted Residence Halls and Spooky College Classrooms

Posted on Thu, 10/18/2012 - 11:04

 

Who doesn't love a good ghost story? Turns out, there are plenty of tales of haunted residence halls and spooky classrooms on college campuses -- from Cal State-Camarillo and Kenyon to University of Georgia, Montclair State and Smith College. Spectral students, phantom lovers (no, not that guy who said he was going to call) and even the ghost of Notre Dame's the Gipper can be found wandering campus. While a resident ghost is not a factor we would suggest using in your college search, we couldn't resist these wrap-ups of collegial Caspers. Here's your rogue's gallery for the approaching All Hallows' Eve:

This month, we have turned the interview tables on Jennifer Delahunty of Kenyon College to ask her our 5 Questions for the Dean. In addition to her work as the Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at the 1600-student Gambier, Ohio, campus, Delahunty is a well-known writer on all things admissions. (Full disclosure: we have been lucky enough to participate in one of her editorial projects!) In 2006, an op-ed she penned for the New York Times on gender issues in admissions, To All the Girls I've Rejected, went viral. It's just one example of the honesty and transparency that she brings to the admission process in all that she does.  Join her here to gain some of her trademark insight into Kenyon -- the classroom, the campus, and the admission office -- and some of her sage advice for parenting through the process.
