Travel season is in full swing.  As I write, five of our counselors are on the road with two others starting later this week.

The first few weeks of the season include high school visits as well as some guidance counselor breakfasts held in different locations across Indiana including Evansville, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Merrillville, and South Bend.  We host these programs to update counselors on what's new at Wabash, introduce them to Wabash students, faculty, and alumni, and to re-connect with our colleagues on the high school side before we get too far into our travels.

Speaking of our travels...if you'd like to see where the admissions team is traveling this fall, you have two options.  Our master calendar will show you our high school visit schedule for the next 14 days or visit our staff profile page where you can view counselors' schedules for the upcoming two weeks.  If you don't see schools in your area listed and want to know if/when we're heading your way, drop me a line at timmonsc@wabash.edu and I'll find out for you.

As for myself, I'm heading out on Friday for the final Colleges That Change Lives tour of the year.  I'll attend two fairs on Saturday in the Twin Cities and two more in greater Chicago on Sunday. Monday, you will find me in St. Louis before our tour heads East to Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Columbus where some of my colleagues will take over.  It's been a record-setting year on the CTCL tour, so please encourage students you know in those areas to come out to the fairs.  A complete listing of locations and times can be found at www.ctcl.org.

I've gotten into a habit of frequently updating my Facebook status and/or Tweeting (@ChipTimmons) during my travels. Some people have even said it's entertaining to read.  At the very least, I'll provide a few restaurant/coffee reviews to help make you a more informed traveler.  If you're interested to see what life's like on the road for an admissions counselor, here's your chance.

Safe Travels!
