Let’s let our kids in on what’s going on at colleges
Prospective students will get plenty of public relations information from colleges. They should also have access to a nonpublic relations perspective of what's going on at colleges. "Rufus McCoy and Profiteers in the Ivory Tower" provides an insight about colleges in an entertaining form, a novel history of higher education.
So, are you going to college? As a high school student, you'll never be advised to read: "Rufus McCoy and Profiteers in the Ivory Tower." But you should. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. “Rufus McCoy and Profiteers in the Ivory Tower” takes you to the exotic and hidden world of academe. See university faculty and administrators in their natural habitat. See how they behave when you’re not watching. Know what to expect when you interact with them. Understand what you’re going to pay for. It’s all yours in “Rufus McCoy and Profiteers in the Ivory Tower.”

As a former Guidance Director, I was always concerned with a student's ability to handle stress and anxiety. If a student had significant levels of anxiety throughout high school and had never been away from home before, I always counseled them to try and select a college that would be close enough for them to be able to come home on a weekend, should they feel the need to do so. College--especially freshman year--is a very stressful experience and students who already are anxious should not be so far away from home that they cannot get home if they wish to.

Paula (writer of above comment) and I went thru San Miguel's together a lifetime ago--and guess who was there? That's right--Jackie Murphy--I suspect Paula might agree w/ me when I say that St. Mike's is in good hands w/ Jackie in charge of Admissions--great to see her get the national exposure she's earned and how wonderful it is to see the Knights marching full speed ahead. All the best to Jacqueline and the swillers at SMC!

Very good perspective on the benefits of checking out a new environment and self awareness! I am so glad I went away to college and especially Vermont, as I loved it so much! It gave me the confidence to live in Colorado, California, Maine, South Carolina, and who knows where next? Plus, Burlington is a wonderful town! Jackie....thanks!
