A Wonderful Commencement Address

People are buzzing about this pointed commencement speech given at Wellesley High School's graduation ceremony. It will take you several minutes to listen to, but it has a particular message worth hearing.

Friday Wrap Up

I hope my students are making plans to visit colleges over the summer! You have to get on some campuses in order to figure out what you like and don't like.  So if you haven't already, get busy making those travel plans today!  In the meantime, we'll keep posting interesting opportunities and articles we find, such as the ones below.

Today's New York Times takes an interesting look at the extraordinary cost of going to law school and how that problem might be fixed.

Also, there was an interesting post yesterday about what happens to cities when there is a dearth of college graduates.

Have a great summer!!
