Each fall, our admissions counselors hit the road. Their goal? To meet with students, families, counselors, teachers, and organizations interested in learning more about Goucher. True, there’s nothing that replaces the campus visit, but this is a great way for us to see those who can’t make the trip, or who’ve already visited and just [...]
