Popp Quoted on Extracurricular Engagement in The Boston Globe

by mpopp / Thursday, 27 September 2018 / Published in College Admission Counseling, High School, Life Lessons, Popp & Associates Press

We are excited to share that Mindy Popp was featured in The Boston Globe in the Help Desk article “When it comes to your child’s extracurriculars, experts say focus on ‘building a life and not a resume’.” In addition to Mindy’s recommendations about extracurricular engagement, the title of the article highlights a value emphasized on the Popp & Associates website. A key philosophy that guides P&A counselors’ work is that students should focus on building a life rich with meaning that enables growth and insight as opposed to concentrating on building a resume to impress others, especially college admission officers.
