College Counseling Team

List of 3 items.

Craig Allen, Director

Craig Allen arrived at Winsor as the school's new Director of College Counseling in 2016. Previously, he directed college counseling offices at three boarding schools for twenty years (Phillips Exeter Academy, Hotchkiss School, and Hill School), led similar efforts at a day school (briefly), and served as Associate Director of Admissions at Duke University, his alma mater. (He also spent some seven years in public school classrooms teaching Honors and A.P. History classes before ever getting into the selective college admissions world.) Along the way, he became a veteran of various duties, school-related responsibilities, and activities, from coaching and dorm duty, to singing and competing in student/faculty quiz bowls. With his youngest child recently graduated from college and now gainfully employed, Craig and his wife of almost thirty-eight years now focus their attention on a different generation - their parents. Duke basketball and a couple of cats serve as nice distractions.
Jennifer Graham, Associate Director

Jennifer Gustin Graham joined the Winsor community in 2003 after eight years in college admission and independent-school college counseling. In addition to serving as the Director and Associate Director of College Counseling, she teaches English, served as an Upper School Class dean for 12 years, and occasionally plays the viola with the Winsor orchestra. A native of Washington state, Jen is a graduate of Occidental College and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her two daughters, after years of spending family vacations touring college campuses, are now in college themselves, so Jen and her husband spend their free time skiing, hiking, and entertaining their Boston terriers, Tilly and Olive.
Helen Grassi Vest, College Counseling Assistant

As College Counseling Assistant, Helen Grassi Vest becomes the 'utility player' for our college counseling team, handling any and all challenges thrown her way. Most importantly, Helen is the office's technology guru and the person who is most responsible for managing the submission of applications, the collection of data, and as our first point of contact for many. She is an important resource for our students and keeps in touch with the many college representatives who work with us. She also plays a variety of roles in the larger Winsor community, coaching squash and tennis, serving in various administrative capacities, and recently serving as a seminar leader in the school's Independent Learning Experience (ILE) program. A graduate of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Helen joined the office in 2010.
