Stay Sharp, Stay Ahead: What Young Fencers Need to Know
Competitive fencers who plan early gain a clear advantage in college admissions. Success isn’t just about performance in competition—it’s about aligning academics, extracurriculars, and school-year decisions to reflect the discipline and resilience developed through fencing.
Join two in-depth sessions led by Zak Harris, a former Johns Hopkins University Admissions Officer with over eight years of experience, including hands-on work with student-athletes and athletic recruitment cases. Zak will explain how early, intentional planning shapes admissions outcomes and how fencers can translate their athletic journey into a compelling application—whether pursuing recruitment or applying through the traditional process.

I am the former Director of Admission at Regis College in Weston, MA. I have also worked in the admission offices at Bowdoin College, Johns Hopkins University, and the George Washington University.
My passion for students has always fueled my work with students and their families. The college process is a journey and I enjoy providing guidance and insight for those who are going through it.
Outside of my work in higher education, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé and my family, running, and watching sports.
