Academic advisor Michelle Warkentin, helps students plan and apply to various colleges, Nov. 7.

As deadlines approach, students prepare their college applications. The application process can be stressful with many different requirements and due dates.

With the introduction of new student liaison Reggie Williams, Warkentin plays a new role in the academic office.

“The addition of Reggie Williams’ position to our counseling department has been such a positive change,” Warkentin said. “With him taking on the caseload of 7th-10th graders, I can focus all of my attention on upperclassmen. Prior to this year, I often felt like I was not able to devote enough time to the underclassmen. However, with the addition of his position, all grades can be properly taken care of in regards to college and career planning.”
