Description:

Many of our seniors sincerely plan to enroll in college but don't actually arrive on campus in the fall. One contributing factor is the sheer number of admission, enrollment, and orientation-related tasks they must complete during the spring and summer of their senior year. Join us to explore how one county's school counselors banded together with their local colleges to share these tasks in an effort to develop an added safety net for seniors. Through a "data-sharing MOU," colleges were able to share the status of each student's completion of these tasks with their high school counselors, who were then able to follow up. The county has seen great enrollment rate success as a result. Join us to learn more and walk away with strategies YOU can implement too!
