The word witch comes from "wicca," meaning "wise one," like the witch's wisdom, the owl symbolizes guidance and learning. So, as someone who helps families choose wisely, it's no surprise that I chose the owl as my logo over 20 years ago, symbolizing insight and experience.
In education consulting, we're like a 'coven' of wisdom—mixing knowledge, experience, and a bit of magic to help students find their path forward. Now, if only I could conjure up the perfect Halloween costume... decisions, decisions!
This Halloween, think of us as your coven of college wisdom, always here to help you choose wisely, not tricks only treats!
