Are you and your teen feeling the pressure of the upcoming college application season? We’re here to help.
Join us for a must-watch Virtual Author Talk with Irena Smith, PhD, on Thursday, August 15 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. Irena is a former Stanford Admissions Officer with nearly two decades of experience advising students from around the world. She’ll share invaluable insights into navigating the college application process in a healthy, constructive way, focusing on preserving your relationship with your teen and helping them define success on their own terms—rather than chasing an elusive “golden ticket.”

Her book and talk provide a fresh perspective on the high stakes of college admissions and the heavy burden of generational expectations, offering practical tips to ease the stress for both you and your teen.
