Christopher Parsons
Christopher’s educational background is extensive and distinguished, including Doctoral studies in English Literature and Creative Writing at the University of South Carolina (USC), a Masters Degree in English, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree from The Citadel in English and History. Additionally, he further punctuated his expertise with Masters work in Mass Communications and Public Relations/Marketing at USC. However, what separates Christopher from many other college consultants is the personal success he has had implementing the very principles employed by his consulting company. Not only was he personally successful in winning scholarship offers from prestigious schools like Vanderbilt, Washington and Lee, Wofford, The Naval Academy, and The Citadel, but he also had the distinct privilege of earning a coveted grant to study in England for one semester, and later in Germany for a year. All told, he has won more than $250,000 dollars in grants and scholarships during his academic career. He understands what it takes to be successful at every level in education. As a decorated athlete in high school, he still managed to graduate 5th in his class of over 300 students, and at The Citadel he was a four-time Academic All-Conference soccer player and graduated 1st in his class – Summa Cum Laude. Christopher brings a level of real-world personal experience that, when combined with his extensive studies, resonates well with today’s students.
