Attention Gunston seniors! Join our new Directors of College Guidance Tony D’Antonio and Emily Coffey for a three-day workshop that will provide  one-on-one feedback from an admission representative on your admission essay, an opportunity to finalize your Common Application, and detailed information about the application timeline. Meet a panel of experts in the college admissions field who will provide insight into the application and decision making process and provide you with the opportunity to ask questions and seek advice. The program includes guests from the University of Tennessee, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Salisbury University, Wofford College, University of Delaware, and Davidson College.

Mrs. Emily Coffey joins Gunston from Mount St. Mary Academy in Little Rock, Arkansas where she served as their first college counselor. She recently received a national award as a 2021 “Counselor that Changes Lives” by the highly regarded Colleges that Change Lives consortium. She graduated magna cum laude with distinction from Hendrix College with a degree in sociology and English, and received her Master’s in higher education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Prior to becoming a college counselor, she worked in undergraduate admissions at Hendrix College and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She is a former Southern Association for College Admission Counseling (SACAC) board member, serving as the co-chair of the admission practices committee. Originally from Rome, Georgia, Mrs. Coffey is looking forward to experiencing life near the coast. In her free time, she loves touring colleges (big surprise), scoping out ice cream shops, and taking her scruffy pup on walks with her spouse.
 
Mr. D’Antonio worked for 17 years as the director of college counseling at Worcester Prep School in Berlin, Md., where he also served four years as assistant headmaster and girls’ head soccer coach. Before Worcester, he was the associate dean of admissions at Salisbury University where he was also an assistant men’s soccer coach. Mr. D’Antonio earned his Bachelor of Science degree in exercise science and two master's degrees from Salisbury University and from the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore in counseling and education psychology. This past year, he served as a college guidance counselor at Sussex Academy in Delaware.
