Connecting the Dots to Find the Right Fit
September 24, 2011

A presentation at the 67th annual conference of the National Association for College Admission Counseling explored the dimensions of the college selection process that young women need to consider in order to find the right fit in college – and why a women’s college might be the right fit for them.

To see what Hector Martinez (Director of College Guidance at The Webb Schools), Deb Shaver (Director of Admission at Smith College), Jessica Reback (’11, Smith College and Teach for America – New Orleans at William J. Fischer Accelerated Academy, 7th/8th Grade English Language Arts/Writing) and Susan Lennon (President of the Women’s College Coalition) talked about with high school guidance counselors, click here for the abbreviated version of the presentation and click here for the expanded version, which includes the research, data, and dots that were presented – NSSE, Hardwick~Day and Linda Sax, etc. – as well as the stories behind the pictures in our newest poster.

Stay tuned: The Women’s College Coalition has embarked on a bold research initiative to answer the provocative question, “Why Does the World Need Women’s Colleges?” New research findings from NSSE, Hardwick~Day, Linda Sax and other sources will be posted to our website as they are available.

Join us in our noble mission: “The Women’s College Coalition, in concert with its members, transforms the world through the education and success of women and girls.”
