Session Summary
Since 2022, college enrollment has declined, especially among males. What’s causing this trend, and how can counselors help reverse it? This session explores the importance of early college exposure for boys—well before high school. One impactful strategy is organizing college visits to spark interest and motivation early on. By taking proactive steps, counselors can play a key role in shifting the narrative and increasing male college enrollment. Let’s discuss how to make that happen.
