Dr. Rosemary Woolley will present the National Council on Student

community college leaders and counselors across the country to come 
together at the local levelto have informed and open discussions regarding 
the needs of their students and to agree how professionally trained 
counselors can best meet those needs." Dr. Woolley will also present 
activities that will better prepare secondary and community college 
counselors to enhance the success of their students. Dr. McKenney and Dr. 
Snider will react to Dr. Woolley's remarks and participate in a discussion 
about what they see as the evolving role of counseling in community colleges.
