Greetings to the NACADA High School to College Advising Interest Group Members!

I hope that you had a good holiday and that you are gearing up for the end of the semester activities at your institution. I want to introduce myself, Gaye Golter DiGregorio, as the new chair of the NACADA High School to College Advising Interest Group. Currently, I am the Interim Director of the Center for Advising and Student Achievement at Colorado State University, and have been involved with NACADA for over 20 years. I was one of the founding members of this Interest Group and am looking foward to getting involved once again.

At the Annual NACADA Conference in Indy, the Interest Group had small group discussions sharing existing programs and identifying issues that need to be addressed when thinking about the transition of high school students to college. A summary of those discussions is posted on our IG "News and Updates" web page.

I am also in the process of creating a list of programs focusing on high school students at colleges and universities across the country and invite you to participate. An example from the University of Washington is posted on our IG "Resources" web page to give you an idea of the format. Please submit your summaries to me by the end of December at gaye.digregorio@colostate.edu.

Many of you indicated interest in becoming a leader in the High School to College Advising Interest Group and I will be contacting you soon. If you did not get to attend the NACADA Conference and would like to be more involved with this group, feel free to send me an e-mail message indicating your interest. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look foward to working with you in the future.
