Editor\u2019s note: While the Admitted blog regularly reports on NACAC\u2019s own research, products, and services, or those available from non-profit sources, we occasionally feature posts that focus on the work of our partners and sponsors in the private sector.<\/em><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve worked in the admission office for three years, and now you must take over a new territory. You don\u2019t know the schools, you\u2019re not familiar with the high school counselors \u2014 oh, and you need to figure out your travel schedule in just a week or so. How do you know where to visit? What\u2019s the makeup of the student body at the schools on your visit list?<\/p>\n

Or \u2014 you\u2019re a high school counselor with students who have some fairly detailed questions about College A. You want to email or call the admission officer who works with schools in your area, but you don\u2019t know who that is. How long will it take to find that information on the college\u2019s website?<\/p>\n

You can find the answers to these questions and many more in the new Hobsons Counselor Community.<\/p>\n

Hobsons Counselor Community aims to bring high school and college admission counselors together.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The community brings together high school and college admission counselors and enables them to view details about institutions, create individual profiles, search for and connect with staff members at colleges and schools, and join groups to discuss news and topics of interest related to the admission process. The goal of the community is to help high school and college staff make connections and expand their knowledge of secondary and postsecondary institutions so they can better advise and help students throughout the college application journey.<\/p>\n
