J Term: Jim Zielinski

As revealed in our initial interview, Jim Zielinski, Co-Director of College Counseling at The Prairie School in Racine, Wisconsin, is a professional role model for Teege - and as such, the conversation went on far too long during our recording in August.  With decades of experience as a Director of Admission and now many years on the school counseling side of the desk, Jim had a lot to say about how to think differently about middle-class families going through the college search process.  Often represented as a "donut hole" in terms of college financing options, this is an area that we can all benefit from ongoing thought.
