Free and open to all

Too often, parents and students begin the college search process intimidated by the road ahead. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Marty O’Connell will teach parents and students how to make this a joyful time, not a high anxiety trial which neglects the individual fit. Find out why this can happen to families and how the process can be approached with a focus on the student, not the rankings and ratings, in order to determine a great college choice.

As a dynamic national speaker, Marty O’Connell’s efforts to educate students about finding the right school for them and to calm the frenzy surrounding the admissions process, have earned her the respect and admiration of colleagues. Her college        admissions advice has been featured on National Public Radio, as well as in numerous publications, including The New York Times.
