In this issue, Cammie Bertram highlights how Bertram team members build their professional expertise in understanding the educational landscape. In a guest interview, Erby Mitchell, Dean of Admission and Financial Aid at The Hotchkiss School, offers advice on how to approach the parent interview at boarding schools.
