Adina Petersmeyer, Director of College and Career Counseling, has visited college campuses and networked with industry colleagues over the past five weeks. She started her tour with a Counselor Fly In event in Flagstaff at Northern Arizona University (NAU). She found NAU to have a strong sense of community and impressive specialty degree programs in Engineering, Nursing, Forestry and a great WUE out-of-state option for our students. She then traveled to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott and was amazed to learn more about their world-renowned reputation in Cybersecurity, Computer Programming, Professional Flight, and ROTC.
Mrs. Petersmeyer then pivoted to attend a CESA College Counseling Institute in St. Louis. She connected with College Counselors at Christian schools from all over the country and visited four college campuses: Washington University, St. Louis University, Maryville University, and Missouri Baptist. Looking ahead, she will be back at Colorado School of Mines as she is a member of their Counselor Advisory Board.
Mrs. Petersmeyer’s said, “As I tell all our VCHS students, once you step foot on a college campus, you will quickly get a feeling about the school and this is true for me as well. When I visited Embry Riddle, I could envision how some of our students will feel right at home with like-minded peers. Since my visit, a junior visited and confirmed that he ‘loved’ the school. I’m grateful for the opportunity to travel to colleges and universities and build strong relationships with so many college admission officers.”
