August was a big month at Arthur Smith Advising! We turned six years old and we hosted our first ever staff retreat in Chicago. It was inspiring to observe our committed, caring, and expert team of counselors working together to find the best ways to empower and support our students. And it sure is fun to work with friends! Thanks to each of them for their great work and thanks especially to all the families (we've supported more than 1000 students in our first 6 years!) that have placed their trust in us!
