Freshman Seminar College Admissions Counselor Project

Every college has an admissions counselor that helps students

learn about the school. These admissions counselors give tours
and presentations that help learn about all of the programs that
the school offers. You will be taking the role of an admissions
counselor for a school of your choice. (You will have to sign up for
schools since we can only have one admissions counselor per
school.)
You job is to give information about the school and all of its
programs to prospective students. You can choose to present with
a tri-fold board or digitally.

You will have time to recruit your classmates in order to

promote your school.
