Class of 2027 Kicks Off College Journey with Annual Application 101 Workshop
The Class of 2027 participated in the College Counseling Office's annual Application 101, where students completed the Common Application and refined their essays. The workshop was led by Interim Director of College Counseling, Rose Gnade, who has served on the College Counseling team since 2017.
This year, Rose plans to build on the office's high-touch approach, continuing its focus on college fit, individualized attention, and student autonomy. She believes in encouraging students to engage in personal reflection so they can identify and pursue the college path that lets their light shine.
“I look forward to continuing our tradition of empowering students to own their college process and focusing on finding their best fit school where they will thrive.”
