Dr. Paul Maurer, President of Montreat Collge, will be speaking on November 15 from 1-2 PM for all parents. The topic will be “Being a big fish in a small pond.” Here is the description of his talk: It is commonly assumed that going to an elite college or large public university are the best options for high school students. However, there is compelling evidence that there may be a better option: being a big fish in a small pond. This option offers a range of life-impacting benefits not seen at elite or large university settings.
