I’m part of a “Grad School Admissions & Retention” Revolution. I’m “on tour!”

This “Travel” season is unlike any other! I’ve been blessed to be invited to speak at a number of schools and conferences about graduate school admissions and retention, and this year, I’m a programming consultant with the GEM GRAD Labs (Getting Ready for Advanced Degrees).  At a recent meeting, one of my colleagues said, “Hey … you’re on tour!” Well, perhaps, in a way. So here are the dates, including some from the summer so that you can see where I’ve been.  My mission: to help students to get into grad school, to help them STAY in grad school, to provide meaningful professional development (particularly in the area of soft skills training), and to assist with their transitions to careers.  If you’ll be at one of these venues below, let me know!
