College Boot Camp for Professionals: Letters of Recommendation & College Essays
Writing a "standout" letter of recommendation or college essay means you and your students need to know what colleges are looking for and what they are not looking for. This summer workshop is designed for school counselors and English and writing teachers and will explore strategies for helping your students to pick a strong college essay topic, avoid the "pitfalls" of a bad college essay, and offers tips on writing an impactful letter of recommendation. Our experienced college counselors will use "real-life" examples to discuss recent trends in college essay topic choice and will offer tips for helping your students rise above the pack. Come join us for a day of interactive learning.
