All Together Different: The Diverse World of Christian Higher Education
Christian colleges have recently received national media attention as the fastest growing segment of colleges and universities. Learn why there is renewed interest in the nation’s faith-based colleges. What are these colleges and what do they do? Are they all alike? How should a Christian counselor advise students who are—or should be—considering a Christian college?

The Essentials of College Counseling I
Are you feeling the pull between the "urgent" and the "important"?  How do we manage this and how do we best choose to spend our time and talent?  What are the basic elements of a college counseling program at a Christian high school?  This nuts-and-bolts session presents essential components to build a counseling program — whether your school has a full-time college counselor or one who counsels during a planning period! Together we'll explore the privileges and challenges of this vocation, examining the "urgent" items which often consume our time, and give attention to the "important" items which truly are essential. 

The Essentials of College Counseling II
