School Counselor and Education Partner Advisory Board

Kent State University is proud to host the School Counselor and Education Partner Advisory Board, under KSU's Enrollment Management division. We value the connection between the University and partners to give us insight into improving the college process for counseling partners, students and families.

Goals for the advisory board include:

  • Learning insights from counselor partners about items of importance for students and families
  • School counselors and education partners serving as a resource for Kent State in providing valuable feedback about new initiatives and strategies to support college access
  • Providing recommendations on recruitment activities and ways to best support students and families through the college selection process
  • Learning what Kent State is doing to support student access and completion
