Another college application season is around the corner, and stress is already beginning to ratchet up for teens and their parents. Join us at 1 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15 for this must-watch talk by Irena Smith, PhD. You will hear about constructive and healthy ways to approach the college application process, preserve your relationship with your teen, and help them define success on their terms instead of chasing the elusive “golden ticket.”
Irena is a former Stanford Admissions Officer who has spent 18 years advising accomplished, tightly-wound students in Palo Alto and around the world. She saw firsthand the extreme measures parents took to help their children gain admission to highly selective colleges and the toll it took on the children as well as on their parents.

Join us for a midday visit from author and U City native Linda Fine Hunt as she discusses her book, Particular Place and People.
This book is a fictionalized take on Hunt’s life growing up in University City, spanning 1954-1966. During that time, Linda lived in a tight-knit, mostly Jewish neighborhood,
and became known as a quirky girl who questioned everything. When a century-old stone mansion intrigues her, she seeks the help of a librarian to learn about the prominent people and cultures that lived in that house over the years.
Hunt grew up daydreaming about writing books. She earned degrees in English Literature, Occupational Therapy, Healthcare Services, and a PhD in Physiological Optics. Today, she lives with her husband in Montana, where she hikes, bikes, bird watches, and enjoys the natural beauty of the area. She continues to be an explorer and daydreamer.
This event is intended for adults, but is free and open to all. It will be held in the auditorium. The author will have books available for purchase at the event.
