Summer travel in the CGO

(updated August 11, 2008) 

Dr. Bouressa spent a great deal of time on the road visiting colleges and universities this summer. While leading a tour group visiting colleges throughout the Northeast he visited the following universities and had meetings with admission deans at Harvard University, Boston College, Tufts University, Brown University, Yale University, Columbia University, Barnard College, Sarah Lawrence University, Swarthmore College, Villanova University, Johns Hopkins University, Goucher College and George Washington University.  He also visited  Florida Institute of Technology, Stetson University and Flagler College meeting with admission deans along the way.

August 3 - 8, 2008 - Mrs. Niemiec attended the Southern California Counselors' Tour and Program sponsored by the Western Association of College Admission Counseling. In addition to professional presentations on a wide variety of topics related to the admission process, the program, which was held on the campus of Chapman University, also included visits to over a dozen area universities including  Cal Tech,  the University of Southern California, Chapman University, Scripps College, Pomona College, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont McKenna College, Pitzer College, California State University - Long Beach, UCLA, Marymount College, Occidental College, Whittier College, Loyola Marymount University, University of La Verne, University of San Diego, Marymount Palos Verdes College and Otis College of Art and Design.

Considering that for some the north is too cold and the west is too far - this summer, Mr. Acosta spent part of his time closer to home in the Carolinas.  He was a counselor at College Horizons, a program for Native American students, and was able to spend a week at Duke University. He also joined about 50 other counselors at SACAC's Summer Seminar, where he had the opportunity of visiting several colleges including:  Furman University, Davidson College, Winthrop University, Converse College, Wofford College, and Clemson University.  Earlier this month, he also had the opportunity to take a day trip down to Miami and visit the University of Miami.
