Wow!  It has been extremely busy in the Admission Visitor’s Center!  I kicked off my spring 2011 travel with my trip down to Atlanta, Georgia.  I met some great families and hope that they will consider Iowa when looking at schools in the coming year!  I then made my way down to San Antonio, Texas for the College Board – “Preparate 2011” conference.  It was a nice change of pace to be in warm weather and engaging in some great discussions.  Once I came back from Texas I made my way east to Chicago!

It has been a big transition traveling Chicago for the past 2 weeks!  I am a born and raised Iowa girl and boy, is the traffic in Chicago way different!  I got stuff downtown a couple of times with no signal for my GPS and thought I would end up in Indiana, but I finally got my signal and got back on track.  I have met some talented students and am excited that they are attending Iowa and/or considering applying next year.

I have about 3 more trips to make.  This week I will be in Oskaloosa and Iowa City, IA followed by another trip to Chicago.  On April 8th I will make a visit to Durant, Wilton and Muscatine High Schools!  Be on the look out eastern Iowa!  The week of April 13th I will make my final trip to Chicago…again!

What places will you travel in the future?
