SUMMARY:Athletic Recruiting in American Universities (ages 14–Adult)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Playing varsity sports in college can create a sense of belonging\, help forge an important sense of identity\, increase executive functioning as well as academic performance\, and—in some cases—help in the admissions and scholarship process. But athletic recruiting for collegiate sports can seem like a maze: intentionally confusing with plenty of unforeseeable turns. In this presentation\, with Brooke Libby of College Goals\, we will discuss the landscape of American college sports\, the academic and athletic requirements for recruitment\, as well as some of the steps to begin the process—from attending summer ID camps to registering with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Students and parents with an interest in pursuing this path to American colleges and universities are welcome. \nAbout Brooke Libby: Brooke Libby loves working with teenagers and has over 25 years of experience in admission and academic advising in both high schools and colleges. She has helped hundreds of student athletes pursue opportunities to compete in varsity sports at the collegiate level — from alpine ski racing to Division 1 basketball\, sailing to baseball. Brooke is a member of NACAC\, NEACAC\, NPEA\, and IECA. \nAbout College Goals: College Goals is a university admission consulting practice specializing in counseling families interested in higher education opportunities in the US and in English-medium universities around the world. The team of counselors collectively offers decades of professional experience in higher education. College Goals provides expert counsel and support throughout the college search and application process\, including choice of appropriate institutions\, test requirements\, recommendations and interviews\, essay writing\, and the preparation of distinguished applications.

SUMMARY:Winning at College\, with Richard Montauk (ages 14–adult)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This presentation by guest host Richard Montauk is aimed at students who will soon go to college (and their parents\, of course). We will not cover the usual advice students receive as they head to college: “study hard\, eat your vegetables\, and learn—at long last—how to do your own laundry.” Instead\, we’ll examine strategic academic considerations\, such as: \n\nThe hidden issues concerning course selection and timing\, distribution requirements\, and choice of majors.\nThe value of methods courses\, undergraduate research\, writing a thesis\, and aiming for nationally competitive fellowships\n\nOn the non-academic side\, we’ll examine the surprising factors that drive success beyond academics\, including the modern determinants of career access and success. Substantial time will be available—during and after the presentation—for questions. \nAbout Richard Montauk: Richard Montauk is the author of a series of best-selling guides\, all published by Prentice Hall\, including How to Get Into the Top Colleges and How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs. His most recent books include College Interviews: The Definitive Guide and Getting into Brown: Successful Applicants’ Essays\, Resumes\, and Interviews. He received a BA in literature from Brown University\, an MA in government from Harvard\, an MS in finance\, and a JD from Stanford Law School. Pursuant to a graduate fellowship\, he also studied at the London School of Economics and the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (University of London). After graduating from Stanford\, Richard worked as a corporate lawyer for Latham & Watkins in Los Angeles\, then as a corporate strategy consultant for Bain & Co. in London\, before devoting himself full-time to admissions consulting. Since 1991\, he has consulted to candidates for the world’s top universities\, for both undergraduate and graduate programs. He can be reached through his website: www.richardmontauk.com.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1680181702190{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”]Important information: \nThis event is free for Library members\, and 15€ per teen for non-members.
