PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

We recognize that securing high-quality and practical professional development opportunities for school counselors and college access professionals is a challenge that interferes with schools' and districts’ ability to support students’ college-going goals. In response to this need, CEP leverages internal college advising curricula, tools, and professional development to support our partners' college-going goals.

Dr. Claudia Canizales Aguilar presents at the annual CEP-OUA Symposium
