儿子们的公司改名字了
现在不说是老二的公司，因为两个儿子都是股东，就叫儿子们的公司。原来叫招生英雄（admissions hero），从本月25日起叫CollegeVine. 前面公司的名字是我翻译的，尽管有人说叫录取英雄，我嫌录取是撅嘴发音，就决定叫招生英雄。我就被朋友称为“英雄妈妈”。
这CollegeVine,我找不到一个合适的中文名字。这个Vine（藤）可不是我们说的IVY（常春藤），而是那种缠缠绕绕的藤曼。他们的本意是把自己原来最初的升学指导业务拓展到高中生升入大学的桥梁业务。如果叫“桥”可能更符合中国人的习惯。可是人家是美国公司，当然得符合美国人的习惯。他们的业务不仅局限于指导升学，而且还有高中生导师项目以及高中课业辅导。他们公司的使命是first and foremost a mentorship company that happens to have great college admissions as the outcome. 他们希望通过顾问和导师的帮助以及榜样的力量，高中生真正能够改变自己的生活轨迹！
看看他们是怎么说的，也帮我想想中文叫个啥名字！
WHY WE'RE CHANGING OUR NAME
First off, if you’ve stumbled upon this page by accident but don’t already know who we are, take a second to learn who we are and why we’re here. Don’t worry, we’ll wait until you’re done.
As the company has expanded in both reach and mission, we have outgrown the name Admissions Hero. Although it’s true that we do guide students through the college admissions process, we are ultimately more than just college counselors, admissions advisors, and tutors -- we are mentors and role models whose mission is to fundamentally change students' life trajectories for the better. In other words, we don’t see ourselves as an admissions company; instead, we are first and foremost a mentorship company that happens to have great college admissions as the outcome.
Indeed, while Admissions Hero will always hold a special place in our hearts, CollegeVine ultimately is broader, more approachable, and overall a more accurate representation of our company today and our brand tomorrow.
Starting July 25th, if you try to visit www.admissionshero.com
you’ll automatically be routed to our new home at www.collegevine.com. Other than that, there’s really no change to your experience!
Let us know if you have any questions!
Kind regards,
The CollegeVine Team
