Abram Erickson

Abram has been working in college admissions and student development since 2018, bringing a unique combination of admissions expertise and student life experience. His background includes leading orientation programs for over 400 students and their families, advising student government with over 30 student leaders, and managing large-scale campus initiatives. Abram's personal experience as a first-generation college searcher who navigated his own fears and uncertainty gives him genuine empathy for students in the college search process, and his Clifton Strengths of Communication, Developer, and Harmony inform his relational, student-centered approach.

Rebecca M., Naperville, Illinois: "Working with Abram during my daughter's college search was wonderful. As someone who went through the same journey at Wheaton just a few years ago, he understood the uncertainties and anxieties she was feeling. His background in leading orientation programs meant he knew exactly what helps students transition successfully to college, and he used that knowledge to help her evaluate which schools offered strong support systems. Abram's communication skills and authentic approach made my daughter feel heard and valued throughout the process. He helped her discern which college environment would help her thrive academically, spiritually, and socially. We're grateful for his patient guidance and genuine investment in her future."

Daniel and Laura K., Wheaton, Illinois: "Abram's experience in student activities and residence life gave him insights that typical admissions counselors don't have. He helped our son think beyond just academics to consider campus culture, community life, and extracurricular opportunities. His thesis research on student-athlete development was particularly valuable since our son planned to compete in track and field while maintaining rigorous academics. Abram understood the importance of finding a college that would support holistic development, not just athletic performance. His relational approach and Clifton Strengths made him an excellent listener and advisor. Our son is now thriving at a college that fits his values and goals, thanks to Abram's thoughtful guidance."
