About US
You want your life to be meaningful, to have a purpose. You want to take pleasure and have pride in the work that you do. You want to make a positive impact.
But, you’re not quite sure how to get there. Or maybe even where “there” is exactly.
That’s ok. You don’t need to have it all figured out today. And, even if you have a plan, it could change. And that’s ok too.
At Ecollegy College Consulting, we believe that life is a journey and that each student’s path after high school is unique. We believe that attending college should be a choice and that students will get the most out of their experience when they are in control of the process and are empowered to make their own, informed decisions. We believe that acceptance into college is not the end goal, but rather a bridge to a lifetime of opportunities, connections, and experiences that will empower the student to discover their unique passions and talents and find their place in the world.
Ecollegy College Consulting provides academic and early career mentorship to students who seek personal success and fulfillment and hope to make a positive impact on the world. Whether you have a clear vision for your future or simply have a nagging feeling that you’d like to make a difference, we are here to help you explore your options and take the next steps on your journey. The world needs changemakers, visionaries, and leaders like you. Let’s get started.
