"There's no place like home"

So said Dorothy to transport her back to Kansas.... Though I had a great fall travel season, visiting South America, Central America and Florida, I must admit that I was missing the New England fall.  There is NOTHING like right now, looking out my office windows and seeing all the changing leaves.  For those of you who have never seen the fall leaves, make it one of those items on your "must do" list. Plus, I know I might cause a riot here with the Sox detractors, but the Red Sox are up 2-0 in the Series.  Once again, nothing like being in Beantown during a great sports fall.

Also, every time I travel, I find I come back each time and something new has occurred.  One great piece of news is that one of our senior interns has secured a position for next fall!  It is at a company that he previously interned for, and I can clearly see his excitement.

Just as the leaves change, our admission cycle starts to change as well.  (I am poignant!)  My colleagues and I start to trickle back to the office, and begin the transition from travel season to reading season.  ED and EA deadlines loom, and we look forward to reading the applications of students, many whom we were able to meet as we traveled this fall.

Best of luck to you EA and ED candidates as you complete your applications!  And go Sox!
