It's not an easy time to be, or raise, a teenager. The good news: reaching out to teens, finding ways to connect with them, and working to see things from their perspective goes a long way toward supporting their mental health.

Holding ⁦@Harvard⁩ up as representative of #highereducation or ⁦@MIT⁩ as an exemplar for #collegeadmissions is like saying ⁦⁦@AlabamaFTBL⁩ represents all college football or all @MLB⁩ teams can/should emulate the ⁦@Yankees⁩. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

Playing catch up on the to-read cue today. Martin Van Der Werf's (@Medium) five-part series on admissions observations from a parent perspective is note-worthy. Particularly resonate? The utter randomness and blandness of college marketing efforts. link.medium.com/qT89wbXVEFb


Such a lovely way to enter the space this morning, @NAISnetwork Thanks for sharing Yoanna's gifts with us @TJ_StL #naispocc

Themes and Variations on Arirang by Kristen Yeon-Ji Yun. Thank you, Yoanna Choi, of Thomas Jefferson School (MO) 🎻 #NAISPoCC

This is my annual reminder that, if you will see a high school senior over the holidays, please do not ask them where they are going to college next year. They don't know right now and they don't need reminded of that. Here's what you can ask instead:

Now available: FSA announces prototype for the 2024–25 FAFSA, offering the financial aid community an advanced opportunity to better understand the FAFSA user experience. This is not a complete replica of the 2024–25 FAFSA form. ow.ly/9FS950PRV8x

When @iamwesmoore said “I’m not in the room because someone sprinkled diversity; I’m in the room because the room is incomplete without me” I got shivers. The message we need at this moment in time. #NACAC23

NBD, #NACAC23. Just 2028 POTUS @iamwesmoore onstage.



📢FAFSA Update: The 2nd draft of the new forms are now available.

Update: The forms will be publicly available by 6 a.m. tomorrow on reginfo.gov.

While the picture used in the article isn't of @Mizzou (or any other UM system campus)... this certainly signals what the UM system values -- and what it doesn't. Anyone seeing other flagships making similar changes?

University of Missouri system to end race-based scholarships after Supreme Court ruling… How quickly many of these institutions “fall in line”, should be a warning for those looking into undergraduate and graduate programs at these institutions. stltoday.com/news/local/edu…

Now I have a better understanding of the adage: "Beware of a wolf in sheep's clothing." Here are my preliminary thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision in the Harvard and UNC cases yesterday. In short, the decision is both radical & disingenuous; and fact-challenged. A🧵


This is fascinating? Odd?

One odd, surprising, and important facet of the chief justice's opinion: He explicitly exempts military academies from his new ban on race-conscious admissions "in light of the potentially distinct interests" they may present. supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…
