Meet the Team

The CCES college counseling staff is comprised of three dedicated professionals who work to ensure that the college search is personally rewarding for every individual student. Each college counselor holds active memberships in both the National Association for College Admission Counseling and the Southern Association for College Admission Counseling.  

Linda Schulz
Director of College Counseling

Linda Schulz brings over twenty-five years of college counseling experience with CCES, both as a former college admission officer and as an independent-school college counselor.

Prior to leading the CCES team, Mrs. Schulz had been at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut, where she served as Associate Director of College Counseling and as a Day-Student Advisor for five years. Prior to Choate, she was Director of College Counseling at The Galloway School in Atlanta, Georgia. Mrs. Schulz also provides keen insights into the college admission process from her experience as Associate Director of Admission at both Oglethorpe University in Georgia and Newberry College in South Carolina.

Mrs. Schulz received the 2007 Yale Counseling Award, which “recognizes counselors from around the world who have inspired and supported their students to achieve at high levels.”

“College counseling has profoundly enriched my life”, notes Schulz. “As a service-oriented individual, I gain true personal rewards by guiding young adults through a critical period in their high school career.”  

Ivey Harrison
Associate Director of College Counseling

Ivey Harrison brings valuable experience in both college admissions and secondary school college counseling to CCES. Before coming to CCES in 2011, she was Assistant Director of Admissions and a college advisor at her alma mater, the Darlington School in Rome, Georgia, where she served for five years. As college advisor, Ivey has worked under the direction of nationally known and widely respected veteran college counselor Sam Moss.

Prior to Darlington, Ivey worked in the Presbyterian College (PC) Admissions Office for three years after her graduation from PC. She rose to the position of Assistant Director of Admissions before moving to Darlington.

Ms. Harrison's professionalism, in-depth knowledge of the college admissions process, and deep understanding of independent school life and culture will prove important assets to the College Counseling program at CCES.

In describing her path to CCES, Harrison says: “Having the opportunity to work at both of my alma maters has been such a blessing, and I look forward to sharing the values that have been instilled in me with the students at Christ Church Episcopal School. I believe that the power of a community is exemplified by institutions like Darlington, PC and CCES, and I am so thankful to be joining another wonderful group of people to better the lives of our students."
