I want to thank Dean Harreys for his entry last week. The topic s of outcomes and financial planning seems to have hit home to many. We received some good feedback from students and parents through the weekend activities. The debate continues on, which you may have seen in yesterday’s edition of USA Today. As always, we welcome any comments here on this topic….. We’re heading into our first 80 degree day here in Boston, which is hard to believe since it’s rainy and dreary as I write. But, the weather forecast for the weekend is balmy and beautiful and we’re all looking forward to celebrating spring in New England! Although we didn’t get that lucky in terms of weather for the past few weekends, we have had great crowds here on campus attending our Welcome Days. As we head towards May 1, we’re finishing up a series of regional receptions. I just returned from Long Island, NY last night where I got to meet some of our admitted students and their families and help answer any last minute questions. On the West Coast we’ve had two very popular programs for admitted students over the past two weeks including one at the home of a Northeastern alumnus in Beverly Hills. Our newly admitted students enjoyed meeting the parents of current students as well as a current student who is on the West Coast participating in co-op and we also had in attendance other alumni and staff who live in the area. It was a great crowd with lots of energy! One question weighing heavily on the minds of many students is – will we go to our waitlist? We are in the process of gathering all of the information necessary to help us make that decision. Once the decision is made to go or not go to the waitlist, we will begin notifying students via email. I’ll also be sure to post new information here as well. I know it’s an anxious time for those waiting to hear from us, and we will be sure to move as quickly as possible to inform you of our decisions. Until next time….
