To help achieve a 70% regional direct-to-college enrollment rate for Class of 2016 seniors, The Austin Chamber has partnered with Texas Association for College Admission Counseling (TACAC) leaders and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to host a regional counselor training and briefing for campus principals to discuss strategies to strengthen and accelerate direct-to-college enrollment across Central Texas High School Campuses.
The training will begin with a 45 minute DTC70 partnership briefing and offer strategies high school leaders can use to improve direct-to-college enrollment on their campuses. Campus administrators are welcome to stay for the remainder of the training, however, it is not required.
Following the briefing, professional development sessions for counselors will be provided by content experts in college admissions advising, state/federal aid changes and strategies to support financial aid completion on campus, advance use of Counselor Portal to target student assistance, admissions and financial aid advising for undocumented students, among other key topics.
