Our College Counseling director, Ms. Latham, is at The Evergreen State College this weekend, as part of a three-day board meeting for Colleges That Change Lives. She is serving a two-year term on the Board of Directors for CTCL, an organization that was created several years after the book with the same name was published. The book spoke to the idea that the college search process should be driven by fit between the student and the college and should be student-centered, not simply guided by an institution’s name or reputation. It is a consortium of over 40 small colleges that the author, Loren Pope, felt were focused more the growth and development of the whole person and nurtured a love of life-long learning. Latham is also on the Academic Advisory Team for ZeeMee, a company that works to empower students to bring their stories to life on a free online platform for a visual résumé for colleges and potential employers. ZeeMee is now in over 13,000 high schools in 128 countries, but Latin was one of the very first to use ZeeMee’s platform.
