Paul Kanarek, featured CAC-GATE speaker

We are pleased to announce that Paul Kanarek, Managing Partner of College Wise, will return as our featured CAC-GATE speaker. He’ll address “What I Wish Someone had told me about University Admissions When I was a Middle School Parent.”
Mr. Kanarek, the Founder of The Princeton Review in California, will share more than 30 years of experience with the college admission process. When it comes to gaining admissions to colleges that fit the student’s needs, Paul Kanarek is able to guide parents in separating fact from stressful fiction. He brings genuine insight, mixed with humor, and has been well-received on many occasions with our IUSD families. This event is open to all IUSD families.
