The High School to College Advising Interest Group explores the connection between high school counselors and college academic advisors in relation to present and future college students. This interest group meeting will provide a forum for discussing current programs which connect current high school students with college academic advisers; programs connecting high school counselors with their former students; possible "turf" issues between college admissions office and college advising units when dealing with high school students; and creative ways to bring college academic advisers and high school together to provide students a seamless transition between high school and college.
