Presenter: Tami Peterson, Founder & CEO, Life Architects
In the 21st century, we feel the changing times and technologies, but we know one thing will never change: God's purpose for humanity! This webinar will be an interactive exploration of how school counselors can approach post-secondary planning and build a better understanding of each student's unique design. We will discuss how each student is created in the image of God and has a unique calling. We will explore how to engage with students and families to build a school culture where post-secondary planning is more than just finding the next step after graduation; it is also about creating pathways to explore work to the glory of God.
Presenters: Dr. Denise Cunningham, Vice President of Partnerships & Strategic Initiatives and Andrew Wright, Director Research & Data Analytics – NACCAP

Join us to explore how recent NACCAP surveys provide insights that can help strengthen the church-to-college pipeline and deepen partnerships that support student enrollment and success.
