On May 17th, 2011, the ACCIS website team added a new page to the website entitled "In The News" which you can find on the front page of the website on the main menu bar.  We will post links to articles, stories, blogs, data, and radio programs so you can stay current with valuable information that we hope will enhance your work with your students, parents, teachers, coaches, administrators, and trustees.  Please be in touch if you read or listen to something that you want to share with the ACCIS Community. 

Carl Ahlgren from the Gillman School has compiled a helpful list of links to the student newspapers at the various Ivy League schools.  If you are looking for data or quotes to inform and to offer perspective for your trustees, faculty, or families, you might want to read through these links.  Please note that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it come to data gathering on the current landscape in college admissions, as well as one narrow slice of the range of options out there.  Please contact me if you have other articles to share with the ACCIS community.  Email me at mdegreeff@mxschool.edu

Thanks Carl for giving me permission to share with the ACCIS community!

Eric Monheim, ACCIS Executive Director, had his letter to the editors published in the New York Times' Opinion Page.  Much credit is due to the fine work of Marie Bigham, ACCIS Communications Chair, for crafting the letter and working with the Executive Committee to shape the response to Eric Hoover's article.  Click below to access the letter.
