Throughout our lives, we have seen, time and again, that higher education opens doors—for career trajectory, personal development, and so much more. In realizing how much our own educational experiences led to our successes, we strive to help our students along similar journeys. Our approach to counseling emphasizes independence and leadership, creative thinking and entrepreneurialism, diversity and self-reflection—all values that unite our team and drive our work with students.
