2 Register Now for a Free Fall Counselor Workshop Dear Colleague: Welcome to this year s series of Fall Counselor Workshops. We believe that school counselors are among our most important advisers, and we have heard your call for more time to discuss the practices that have brought you and your colleagues the most success in connecting students to postsecondary education opportunities. While we will still have College Board program updates to keep you informed about changes, we have also used your feedback to design a workshop that, we hope, will provide an opportunity to learn from your colleagues. Additionally, these workshops provide us with another occasion to speak with you and to learn how we might better assist you with the critical and complex work that you perform in your school. We look forward to seeing you this fall. Sincerely, The Staff of the Midwestern Regional Office Review the inside panels of this brochure for FCW dates and locations in your area.
