Deans’ and Directors’ Event
Spend an Evening with Esteemed College Deans and Directors.
Holland Hall Deans’ and Directors’ Event, sponsored by the College Counseling office, has a wonderful and rich history. Dating back to 1985, this event hosts top college admission professionals from across the United States.
Our guests spend the day on campus with Holland Hall students, and the capstone of the event is an evening program in which parents have the opportunity to ask questions of our distinguished panel of guests to learn about trends in the ever-changing landscape of selective college admission. The evening program is free and open to the public.
