Emily Coffey, college counselor at Mount St. Mary Academy in Little Rock, has been named one of this year’s Counselors That Change Lives. The award, given by Colleges That Change Lives, recognizes those whose dedication to the college counseling profession reflects the mission of the nonprofit organization: to promote and support a student-centered college search process.
Coffey, now in her third year at Mount St. Mary, is one of 12 recipients from across the country to receive this award in 2021. She is also the first college counselor from an Arkansas high school to be honored since the program began in 2009. Admission staff at CTCL-member colleges and universities nominate counselors who are committed to students and their success not only during their college search, but throughout their entire high school career and beyond.
Before she came to Mount St. Mary, Coffey served as an admission counselor for Hendrix College in Conway.
