My s20 had a bunch of contact with a Dean and a Dept. Chair at a selective LAC. They were adding a new major, his intended major, and he was referred to the dean by one of my clients (an alum) who was familiar with this change at the college and is probably trying to get me to cut my rates for him by doing my kid a favor.
The reason for this background is he has received boat loads of direct mail from this college (and dozens of others), but yesterday he got a letter from the Dean alerting my kid to a new full-scholarship funded by a local employer, Specifically for that new major, and inviting him to both apply to the school and that scholarship (dean knows my kids, stats). Anyhoo, there was a MAJOR typo in the letter. LOL. My son’s name was injected inside a sentence in a nonsensical place. Oops!
I just had to laugh…thinking about all of the hand wringing and proofing, proofing and the proofing of his essays. I showed it to him and he got a chuckle out of it, too. That letter, we will save.
