The seniors have enjoyed special programming this week that will help them when they all go off to college. Each day the students arrived at 10:30 a.m. to hear an outside speaker(s) address a specific topic relevant to entering college freshman. On Monday, they heard the former VP for Student Affairs and Dean of Students at Brandeis University, Rick Sawyer, discuss campus life and how students can navigate their way through problems and general questions while on campus. On Tuesday, Brimmer graduates returned from Brown, Johns Hopkins, Virginia Tech, Colby, Amherst, and Lehigh to share their college experiences and how they navigated their way through freshman year. The next day they heard John Tarbox, Managing Director of Beacon Hill Staffing, and Cassie Abodeely, attorney, and current Brimmer Summer Camp Director, discussing Resume Writing and Interviewing Do's and Don'ts. Thursday's topic was Personal Finances, presented by Shauna Pendleton, Santander Bank and Business Development Office, who instructed the students on the basics of checking accounts, debit and credit cards, identity protection, and money management. The week ended with Technology Information and was presented by Michael Langlois, Brimmer Director of Technology, and Lisa Collins, Executive Director of B Your Brands Communications. Each presentation was followed by a special catered luncheon. 

 

 

The junior class had their last College Counseling class of the year this week. During the semester, students completed assignments covering career exploration, did preliminary college searches, attended a college essay workshop presented by an admissions officer from a university, became familiar with Naviance, started their Common Applications, and much more. As they head off for the summer break, all students are expected to have submitted a rough draft or notes for their college essay, asked two teachers to write their college recommendations, and submitted their list of colleges as it currently stands.  Parents and guardians will receive a more detailed letter from the College Counseling team with our expectations for the students for the summer.  Because most colleges are now encouraging students to submit applications under an early plan (Early Decision, Early Action, Priority Deadline) and because these early submissions may enhance a positive outcome, we are hoping to have the students complete as much of the process as possible before the start of School.

Many adults in the Brimmer community have memories of spending asemester or a year studying abroad while in college. In recent years, however, increasing numbers of American students are choosing to spend their entire undergraduate career at an international university. The most popular destinations are in the U.K. and Ireland, and these countries are anxious to have our students. Many universities now have offices and representatives in the U.S., and they visit our schools on a regular basis. They also invite U.S. counselors to visit their campuses. I have just returned from a 10-day trip to Britain, Scotland, and Ireland where I visited 12 universities. This was my third trip to visit international universities -- by invitation. The pluses of choosing this educational path are many, not the least of which is that the total cost is considerably less than comparative private colleges in the U.S. Currently, we have a Brimmer graduate, Oscar Portabales, studying at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. We had a wonderful visit together, and he was happy to share his experiences of a happy first year experience with me. This echoes the feelings of previous Brimmer graduates who have chosen to study abroad. I am eager to share my impressions and knowledge of these universities with members of the Brimmer community. Please contact me if you would like more information.
