PRESENTED BY

Heather E. McChesney, Coordinator of Curriculum, Professional Development, and Education Initiatives, Division of Student Affairs, West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission

We know that students who enroll in colleges that are a strong match and fit are more likely to graduate. How can you implement programming in your school and/or in partnership with community organizations to help students and families build a balanced college list?


Hear from a state college application campaign, a school counselor and a community-based organization to learn effective practices to engaging students and families in this important process. Learn about both short-term and long-term strategies.


Building a balanced college list is the first step for student success in the college application process. Focus on ways to help students begin the application process informed and empowered with a balanced list.
