College That Changes Lives College Fair


Mark Hoven and I would like to formally invite ALL rising senior students to caravan up with us to Tulsa's Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center for the College That Change Lives college fair.

We will leave the Bennett Athletic Center at 5 pm. The event lasts from 7 pm - 9 pm.

There will be a 30-minute panel presentation by CTCL deans and directors, and then immediately after the panel presentation, the college fair begins, lasting approximately 1.5 hours. Casady seniors will be able to collect information from and speak directly with admission representatives from the 40 colleges and universities that inspired noted education reporter and former New York Times education editor Loren Pope to write the book Colleges That Change Lives.

In the recent past, these 40 colleges have grown in popularity among Casady students, and as a result, we've seen more and more students matriculate to some of these 40 colleges.

I think of Taylor Helm, a 10' Casady graduate, who will attend DePauw.

I think of Rose Dubiskis, another 10' graduate, who will attend Hendrix.

I think of Lindsey Henderson and Tori McCune, both 10' graduates, both of whom will attend Rhodes this fall.

These are just a few of our outstanding Casady graduates who have matriculated to one of the 40 colleges that Loren Pope argues are as "good as the Ivies".
