Monthly College Counseling Update: May 2017
Celebrating the Seniors
On May 1st the Archmere community celebrated College Decision Day with Archmere seniors wearing apparel from the schools they’ve decided to attend. Throughout the day, the College Counseling department hosted a photo booth and the reserve assembly day ended with the traditional class photo on the steps of Saint Norbert Hall. Students also celebrated with Rita’s Water Ice and were encouraged to write thank you notes to the people that assisted them throughout the process. The 124 seniors will be enrolling at 73 different colleges in 20 states and three countries. There are also 26 students enrolling at schools where there are no other Archmere graduates attending.

In total over 500 people attended the evening program.

Career Programming with Sophomores
College Counseling visited all sophomore health classes to complete new career programming with students. The one class exercise was a modification of G. Richard Shell’s "Six Lives" exercise, which attempts to help participants identify their definition of success and happiness.
