Decision Day!

May 1 is Decision Day -- the day high school students have to declare where they are going to college next year. Has the feel of a Hallmark holiday as parents decorate doors and post the announcement on FaceBook.

Our announcement: We have a Mule in the house! 

These are our pictures of Ashley going "through the red doors" ... and expression used often at Muhlenberg which has a lot of red doors on its campus.

 Ashley will be studying Technical Theater at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA. We'll figure out the rest later.

Ashley wanted a great liberal arts school with a strong theater department  which ruled out BFA programs. We do anticipate her needing an MFA in the future, but for now she wants the opportunity to take a wide variety of classes and explore her options for the future.

Muhlenberg is the type of school where you can start as a theater major, switch to neuroscience, and still graduate in four years.

Every encounter we have had with the staff, professors, alumni, and students at the school solidifies this is the right decision for Ashley.

After touring about ten schools, we find it ironic she chose the one school she did not tour. We did see a show ("A Raisin in the Sun"), ate in the dining, walked the campus, and had many email, phone, and Zoom interactions with various people affiliated with the school.

Welcome to The Pack, Ashley.
