Participant Remarks on the 2008 Conference
| “As a college counselor, I have attended many College Board conferences and workshops, but there has never been anything like this conference for the guidance counselors.” “This was the best conference I’ve been to in 18 years of education.” “The sessions reminded me why I became a counselor and challenged me to do more.” |  |
