The heart is a muscular organ that is responsible for pumping blood throughout the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions. In an analogous way, we as college admission counseling professionals are similar to a heart in that we (the heart) pump information throughout the country to prospective students and families (the blood vessels). In order to sustain a healthy heart, one must condition and train it properly. With that in mind, the HEART Series is a way to strengthen and exercise your knowledge and expertise in the college admission counseling realm. Whether you’ve been in profession since the Civil War or you’ve just recently come on board, the HEART Series allows professionals all across the experience spectrum to share their insight and input—and everyone’s opinion will be truly valued.  Check periodically for scheduled events!
