Tam and her Seniors: Holiday dinner at B.J.'s Brewery in December 2007.
Tam's Junior Blog: Time to Gear Up!!!
Juniors! You are in an exciting time!! What should you be doing? Well,
not much really, except.....scheduling your ACT and SAT, building your
college list, researching colleges, visiting colleges, thinking about YOU and
which college environment is right for you!
What type of college are you looking for? Where should you start? You
should start with YOU. How do you learn best? What are you passionate
about? What are your interests? Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
Do you long for big cities and bright lights, or do you prefer natural
environments and quiet evenings with friends? Do you want big lecture
halls or do you prefer discussion based classes? These are key variables in
exploring college options.
Deciding where to attend college is a very important decision in a life that
will be filled with important decisions. Why? Because where you attend
college will have a significant impact on your future. If you have not
started the process...you need to get moving! The college search and
selection process should be fun and exciting and filled with possibilities.
Start now!

Elie Weisel, Nobel Peace
Laureate and author of 40
books, including NIGHT,
speaks at Eckerd College
on February 21, 2008.
On February 21, 2008, I had the great honor of hearing Elie Weisel, Nobel Peace Laureate, acclaimed author,
Holocaust survivor, and Eckerd adjunct faculty member, give the keynote speech at Eckerd College's 50 year
Convocation. My daughter, Alexandra, who is a student at Eckerd, attended with me, and so did two of my
students, Alec C 2009 and Nick B 2008. In addition to giving the keynote speech, Professor Weisel was present
for the endowment of the Elie Weisel Endowed Professorship in Humane Letters. This honor went to
Professor Carolyn Johnston who has taught a yearly seminar with Professor Weisel during Eckerd's Winter
Term.
The students enjoyed tours of Eckerd College and the University of Tampa as well as the Convocation events.
In addition to this Florida tour, two students (Nick B 2008 and Cooper G 2009) accompanied me to Boston on
February 13th to visit Boston University and Emerson College. Both trips were great fun! And quite
educational, of course.

TRAVELS WITH TAM.....
So far this year I have taken students on college
visit trips to Boston, Tampa, St Petersburg, and
Athens, GA. College visits are essential in finding
the right match school for the student. Students
know during the visit whether the school is a fit or
not.
Upcoming college visit trips:
The Pacific Northwest: Portland, OR, Salem, OR
and Walla Walla, WA. If you are interested in
visiting one of these schools, please let me know!
We are leaving July 9 and returning July 15.
The Northeast: A trip is in the works, but no dates
as of yet!
