The office is orchestrating a number of student workshops for the purpose of exposing students' to college access information that will assist with matriculation to college, employment, or enlisted military service. This particular day throughout the weeks to come is designated as Workshop Wednesdays. These sessions would begin in the month of October.

Also, professional school counselors will receive ongoing updates from our office to ensure all resources and information is shared and current.
