I’m excited to bring you up-to-speed on AQ’s Call for onBoarding Schools Contributors. The response was incredible- the number of applications to write for the blog far exceeded our expectations.

While we’re not quite ready to officially announce the entire team, I can report that this talented group includes students, parents, admission directors, teachers and administrators. Their angles and perspectives will add richness and nuance to onBoarding Schools.

Today I’m thrilled to introduce you to our first blogger, Carolyn Hines. Carolyn is and independent school loyalist, boarding school mom (The Madeira School, 2010), and Director of Advancement and Communication at Aspen Country Day School. Earlier in her tenure at Aspen Country Day she worked in admission and boarding school placement. Not new to writing, her first career included writing and editing at USA Today, the Rocky Mountain News and Aspen Magazine.

Carolyn, welcome to onBoarding Schools.
