Your Counselor Resource Center
With access to so many articles, blogs and social media posts, the goal of the Counselor Resource Committee aims to streamline the search process for the admissions community. Take a look at these helpful resources:
LGBTQIA+ Resources
Resources for African American Students
Community College Resources
The Community College SIG meets monthly from September through June. We are a team of public, private, and independent professionals whose range of serving students spans the middle school exploratory years through the four-year university experience. Our goal is to provide a one-stop-shop for professionals to guide their students and their families through the college transfer process - from college credits earned in high school to community college degrees through earning a degree from a four-year university. These links provide additional information.
