Nearly 160 high school counselors from across the state attended a September workshop by the University of Hawaiʻi at ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ so they could better advise students who are considering enrolling at ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½?s flagship campus.

Hawaiʻi high school counselors play a pivotal role in ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹?s local student recruitment efforts. The admissions office has been holding the annual High School Counselor Workshop for more than 30 years, continually refreshing the event to support the evolving needs of counselors. This year¡¯s workshop was virtual due to COVID-19 pandemic precautions and featured ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹¡¯s academic programs and student services.

“I really appreciate this opportunity so much,” said one participant, “As the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) teacher, I needed to know this information as well to help guide our students.”

The workshop also offered breakout sessions that covered ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ admissions updates, scholarship opportunities at ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹, financial aid services, planting seeds for student access and success, the Bachelor¡¯s and Master¡¯s Degree Pathways (BAM), Study Abroad Programs and more.

“We continue to build upon our relationship with high school counselors as we value their partnership; with the goal of supporting their students through the college application process,” said ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ Director of Admissions Ryan Yamaguchi. “The High School Counselors Workshop provides an opportunity for us to collaborate and share important information and updates about our campus with counselors.”
