Join us for an inspiring and practical conversation with Dr. Alice Kelikian, Emerita Professor of History at Brandeis University, as she shares insider insights on how students can stand out in today’s competitive college admissions process and the changing liberal arts landscape.
A Princeton graduate and Oxford D.Phil., Dr. Kelikian has spent decades teaching, mentoring, and guiding high-achieving students.
She’ll break down how to:
- Think strategically about academic goals
- Craft compelling, authentic applications and personal statements
- Make intentional choices throughout high school years
- Reimagine the liberal arts landscape
Whether college is still a distant idea or right around the corner, this session will help students and families plan with purpose and confidence.
