High School Counselor Advisory Board

Kent State University is proud to launch our newest initiative, the Northeast Ohio School Counselor Advisory Board, under KSU's Enrollment Management division. We value the connection between the university and school partners to give us insight of improving the college process for counselors, students and families.

Goals for the advisory board include:

  • Learning insights from counselor partners about items of importance for students and families
  • School counselors 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 journey
  • Learning what Kent State is doing to support student access and completion
