"Colleges That Change Lives" - Coming to Universal City on August 3rd!

Hi CHAMPS Folks,


I just want to let you know that the "Colleges That Change Lives" program and fair will take place in Universal City on August 3rd at 7:00 pm. By now, you probably know that I tend to encourage most students to seriously consider small liberal arts colleges as they make their college application plans. The group of colleges that belong to this particular organization are often considered to be "the cream of the crop," as they are well covered in Loren Pope's seminal book "Colleges That Change Lives." They will be hosting, and the program begins with a 30-minute presentation on the student-centered college search process, followed immediately with the college fair, featuring representatives from 36 of the CTCL colleges. The programs do not charge admission or require reservation. (What a deal!)
I hope you'll try your best to attend, and here's a link to the particulars:

Following is a paragraph about CTCL that I lifted from the group's website:

Colleges That Change Lives, Inc. (CTCL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement and support of a student-centered college search process. We support the goal of each student finding a college that develops a lifelong love of learning and provides the foundation for a successful and fulfilling life beyond college. We were founded as a result of a book of the same name—Colleges That Change Lives, researched and written by retired New York Times education editor Loren Pope. Mr. Pope passed away in September 2008 but his mission lives on through the work of CTCL.

I'll post this info on the "Siren Song" Facebook page as well. Hope to see you on August 3rd!
Thanks,
Anne C.
