Session Description

Having an inviting and engaging ‘College and Center Center’ is vital to gaining student participation and excitement. How do you do this? Each board should have a current, up-to-date theme, such as College and Career Growth Mindsets. Also, the colors on the boards should be vibrant with interesting borders. Each board should address a need that your student population has, such as presenting trade and job opportunities. In my center, I have one board with an inspirational saying created from the mascots of famous universities. One of the football coaches from Rice University was at my school to recruit a student and loved it. It grabbed his attention, as well as, many of the students. You can do it too! Come to this interesting and lively presentation.

Brief biographical sketch, to include educational background

I am a college and career enthusiast and advisor at a high-school. During my years as a teacher, I was very interested in working with international students. I obtained a Fulbright-Hays Scholarship to study international education in the Czech Republic and Hungary. Then I went on to receive a graduate degree in school counseling from George Washington University. I wrote my graduate thesis on Creating a Career Portfolio for ESOL students. I also have received advanced training in Career Development. This past summer, I attended the ASCA and the National Career Development Association Conference. I am currently working toward obtaining my LPC-licensed professional counselor certification, so that I will also be able to work with adolescents in private practice.
