It’s your turn
The college coordinator at a CBO is trying to create a realistic college list for her student. She needs to know more about the student’s grades, scholarship opportunities at various different institutions, and FAFSA.
How can the CBO work together with admissions counselors and school counselors to make sure the student is on track?

It’s your turn
A public high school just opened a college counseling center. They’ve never had a college fair on campus so the counselors begin to organize the school’s first fair. Counselors want to get as many colleges and universities represented as possible. They also want many families to attend and engage in informative conversations.
How can CBOs and admissions counselors collaborate to help prepare students? How can they enhance the college fair?

How can he work with colleagues to get a pulse on his new community?
