Emmi Harward is the Executive Director of the Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools (ACCIS), and it’s her job to keep her finger on the pulse of the college counseling profession so she can help her members do their best work helping kids apply to college.
As they put it “ACCIS is a national membership organization providing support, shared knowledge, and professional development programming for college counselors based in independent (non-public) schools across the country and internationally. ACCIS counts nearly 600 schools as members, represented by over 1700 counselors and office assistants working to support the students in their care.” Emmi spends her time in airports, schools, and her home base of San Diego, California, and joined me in new york, and she and I talked in a conference room in the Collegewise New York City world headquarters at WeWork on 49th street in Manhattan.
