NCAA Requirements for Student-Athletes

Students need to satisfy certain requirements in order to be eligible to compete in NCAA athletics. This session will focus on a number of topics student athletes need to be aware of for eligibility: high school core courses; NCAA Clearinghouse; standardized test scores; if the writing portion of the ACT is required; and other questions you may have about eligibility.

Career Searches in Today’s Economy

As a counselor, you have undoubtedly had several conversations with students about their career goals. Have you ever wondered what colleges and universities are doing to strengthen their students’ chances of landing a dream job in the midst of an unstable economy? Representatives from a high school, community college, and university will discuss the services they provide and how they prepare their students for career searches in a competitive job market.

Bullying: Realistic Strategies to Create a Positive School Environment

Whether it is emotional, verbal, or physical, in person or online, bullying has emerged as an issue of concern in today’s schools. From the bully, the bullied, or the bystander, this session will focus on what we already know about bullying and what, as educators and counselors, we can do about it.

Lunch and CPDU evidence completion forms will be provided.
