Chris Boehm, Director of Admission

I’ve been so caught up in working with accepted students and talking financial aid that I forgot how much fun it is talking to families that aren’t familiar with the college admission and financial aid process. Attended a college fair at Upper Dublin High School in Ambler, Pennsylvania last night and I had a great time talking to families about Albright and educating many of them on college admission and college searches.

The part of my job that I enjoy the most is educating families on the process. Many are overwhelmed by the thought of starting it and others receive such bad information from various sources. I am very popular at parties with parents of 16 and 17 year-olds! It is one of the rare times that I am popular (lol)! I feel good about helping families even if the information that I give them sends them somewhere other than Albright. So ask away!!!!!

It’s off to Brandywine High School tomorrow for a panel presentation and later in the month to Pottstown and Spring Ford high schools. I’m going to miss those of you at North Penn HS because my wife is going to a conference in Las Vegas (luck her!) and I am home with my daughter all week. But Summer in our office who is a North Penn grad will be covering the fair.

On a personal note, Billy Joel concert was fabulous! It is the fifth time I have seen him and while our friend that got us the tickets was in the THIRD ROW! we enjoyed the suite we were in. Also ate at the Pod in Philadelphia prior to the show. Weird atmosphere, but outstanding food!!!!!!!! Highly recommend.
