A former Education Editor of the New York Times, Fiske is known around the world for his award-winning writing on topics ranging from trends in American higher education to school reform in Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The guide was established in 1982 when, covering higher education for the Times, Fiske sensed the need for a publication that would help students and parents navigate the increasingly complex college admissions scene. The guide, an annual publication, immediately became a standard part of college admissions literature and it is now the country’s best-selling college guide. Fiske has teamed up with his wife, Helen F. Ladd, a professor at Duke University, on several major international research projects regarding the development of education in various countries. Together, they are co-editors of the Handbook of Research in Education Finance and Policy, the official handbook of the American Education Finance Association.

Born in Philadelphia, Fiske graduated from Wesleyan University summa cum laude, and received master’s degrees in theology from Princeton Theological Seminary and in political science from Columbia University. He is a regular contributor to the International Herald-Tribune. In addition to the New York Times, his articles and book reviews have appeared in Atlantic Monthly, Chronicle of Higher Education, Los Angeles Times, and other national publications. * SUBSCRIBE TO BEFORE COLLEGE TV GET THE LATEST INTERVIEWS * TEXT HARLAN: 321-345-9070 * INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/HarlanCohen​ * FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/HelpMeHarlan/​ * TWITTER: http://Twitter.com/HarlanCohen​ * WEBSITE: www.HarlanCohen.com * BEFORE COLLEGE TV: HOSTED BY HARLAN COHEN | @HarlanCohen | www.HarlanCohen.com HARLAN'S BOOKS: https://harlancohen.com/store/​ - The Naked Roommate and 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College - The Naked Roommate for Parents Only - Getting Naked: 5 Steps to Finding the Love of Your Life (While Fully Clothed & Totally Sober) - Dad’s Expecting, Too: An Expectant Father’s Guide HARLAN'S ADVICE: https://harlancohen.com/advice/​ ABOUT HARLAN: Harlan is a New York Times bestselling author of 6 books.

(Recorded 6/4/2020)Jeff Levy has been an independent educational consultant since 2007, based in Santa Monica, California. While his students come from all backgrounds and have a broad array of interests, his three decades as a professional in the film and television industry have made him a natural resource for those interested in the visual and performing arts and other creative fields. Jeff has become a recognized advocate for college affordability and financial aid. Each year, he and his partner Jennie Kent publish several easy-to-use charts that help families understand which colleges will be the most affordable for them. While academic and social fit are two important components matching students with colleges, he believes that financial fit is too often overlooked by counselors and parents in guiding students towards colleges that make sense. Jeff has been quoted in the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, has been interviewed on National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered,” and is a regular blogger for Grown & Flown. He is a member of several professional organizations, co-wrote the syllabus for UC San Diego Extension’s course on college affordability and financial aid, and is on the faculty of IECA’s Summer Training Institute. He is passionate about being a voice for equity and affordability in higher education.
