I. Reminder: Miss M Out of Office, 7/4-7/18
Just a quick reminder: I'll be out of the office visiting colleges in the midwest for the next two weeks. You can always reach me via email; it may take me a day or so to get back to you, but I'll be in touch while I'm away.

II. NEW: College-Bound at STES--the blog!
In an effort to offer one more way for students and parents to keep abreast of the latest news and information coming from my office, I've created a new webpage that wil contain the weekly counseling news and updates from my travels on behalf of the school (see below). I'll be posting the Weekly Counseling News in this location, too. This site isn't meant to replace the good habit of checking your email---in fact, I hope you're all checking it regularly now!---but it's one more site you can add to your daily internet perusal as you keep on top of your college admissions process this summer.

III. Got questions for Midwest colleges? I'll get some answers!
While I'm away in the Midwest, I'll be blogging about my experiences on the new website. Before I leave, I'll be posting open threads on the blog where students and parents can leave questions that you'd like me to ask admissions representatives at each school. These can be big questions (What does it cost to attend Wheaton? Where the heck is Kalamazoo College?) or more specific queries (what's the pre-med curriculum like at Northwestern? What engineering internships are available to Purdue students?), and I'll be glad to bring them all with me when I visit these campuses. Please feel free to post early and often!

Nota Bene: if you post to this blog, keep the discussion positive and coherent (read: don't write as if you're sending a text message). A good model for what I'm expecting is the MIT Admissions Blog here: http://www.mitadmissions.org/blogs.shtml
