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.

Join us Monday, January 27, 2020, at 6:00 pm when we welcome:

  • Gil Villanueva, Associate Vice President and Dean of Admission, University of Richmond
  • Jeremiah Quinlan, Dean of Undergraduate Admission and Financial Aid, Yale University
  • Dr. Mary Wagner, Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Management & Executive Director of Undergraduate Admissions, University of South Carolina

From Kelly Walter, visiting Dean in 2016 from Boston University:

“What an honor it was to visit Holland Hall… There was both an openness and a sense of pride in your school that I sensed from every single person that I met and a level of engagement that was remarkable. I feel quite fortunate to have had such a close, personal look at Holland Hall and to see, with great clarity, that you and your colleagues put students first in everything that you do.”
