Just back from a quick trip visiting colleges in Rhode Island and Western Massachusetts. Not only do I plan college tours, I'm also out visiting colleges around the country so that I can best advise our families on resources and opportunities on campus.

Highlights of this trip:

*lunch in the vibrant dining hall at Clark University

*Meeting with the Associate Director of Admissions at Smith College who specializes in transfer and re-entry students.

*Meeting with the Assistant Director of Admissions at College of the Holy Cross

*Attendance at "To Kill a Mockingbird," to see Brown University MFA Theatre students in performance.

*Observation of new building projects at Providence College
