Wellesley resident starts college admissions counseling

Admit Fit, WellesleyMartha Collins, a long-time Wellesley resident and parent of three who have successfully navigated college admissions, is offering her expertise to families of college-bound students through Admit Fit college admissions counseling.

Martha is adept at counseling teens and consulting with parents. She understands firsthand how to shape a positive college admissions experience for students and their families.

An interview with author Susan Orlean, whose The Library Book is this year’s community wide read selection, will highlight this year’s Wellesley Free Library Foundation gala fundraiser on April 2 at Wellesley Country Club.

The Library BookSusan Orlean, a longtime New Yorker writer and known for books such as The Orchid Thief, will discuss new work The Library Book and the role libraries continue to play in communities.
