In-person at Norte Dame, Belmont

Brennan Barnard & Rick Clark
​
Common Ground Speaker Series is excited to invite high school juniors/seniors along with their parents to join two nationally respected admissions experts and the authors of The Truth about College Admission, Rick Clark (Georgia Tech) and Brennan Barnard (Khan Lab School), for a candid conversation about navigating the college admission process. With insight from both the college and high school perspectives, they will help you better understand how decisions are made, reduce stress at home, and support your student in making thoughtful, informed choices about college. This is a practical evening for families ready to think clearly and invite the honest conversation that holds families together through application season and the years that follow.
