National College Fairs
The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), founded in 1937, is an organization of 8,000 professionals from around the world dedicated to serving students as they make choices about pursuing post-secondary education. NACAC effectively brings together primary and secondary school counselors, independent counselors, college admission and financial aid officers, enrollment managers, and organizations engaged in guiding students through the secondary to higher education transition process. Each year NACAC sponsors several college fairs around the country, including one in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the spring.
Education World for Counselors
In the spring of 1996, the founders of Education World recognized the need for a website that would make the internet easier for educators to use. They wanted to create a home for educators on the internet, a place where those in school settings could gather and share ideas. They wanted to create a complete online resource where educators could start each day to find the lesson plans and research materials they were looking for.
The result is Education World, the Educator’s Best Friend! A site designed to serve the needs of professional school counselors. It is a great resource available free to us (with lots of advertisement banners) as we serve our students.

Within this site you will find tons of useful information for nearly everyone in Kent County. Click on “Search for Programs” for the latest information about local services for children and families. The “Event Calendar” will keep you in the know about what’s happening in Kent County.
The Bullycide Project
The Bullycide Project is based on the book Bullycide in America, complied by Brenda High and written by mothers who have lost a child to suicide due to excessive bullying. This may be an effective and thought-provoking performance piece that would help create further awareness of the term bullycide.
