“Lauren was my student advocate during my sophomore year of college and I am incredibly grateful for her unwavering support. She consistently checked in on me, making sure that I stayed on top of important tasks and updates. Navigating through my second year of undergrad was difficult, especially after transitioning from online to on-campus learning due to COVID-19. She helped play a role in making that transition smoother thanks to her guidance. I deeply appreciated Lauren's genuine care, dedication, and support. Thankful for her mentorship, I am so appreciative!”

“I cannot thank Lauren enough for shepherding my son through the college application process. Lauren was adept at handling sensitive questions and issues that were highly triggering for him. Witnessing how often my son encountered challenging questions and situations has been an eye-opener for me- I know there are so many others in less-than-ideal situations. All the more reason for me to express my tremendous thanks and appreciation. All students deserve the kind of care and attention that Lauren has provided my son.”

“I first worked with Lauren at Wentworth Institute of Technology. As an older enrolling student, I decided to return to school to earn a bachelor’s degree. Lauren listened to me and learned about my history, my objectives and my goals. She helped me carve out an educational path that not only took me into account, but also took my wife and children into account. Lauren also advocated on my behalf when my college unexpectedly phased out my major halfway through my program. Thanks to her reassurance and assistance, I was able to find an alternative path to complete my degree.”

From weekly class sessions focusing on a different components of the college admissions process one-on-one checkins during office hours, and FAFSA application nights, Ms.Peckler was an unwavering anchor in the sea of anxiety for families and students navigating their next steps. I am grateful that I had Ms. Peckler by my side during this time!”
